About The Devils:  The Devils is just an incredibly fun, incredibly action-packed and, by the end, incredibly affecting book.  It slammed the living shit out of me.” — Tamsyn Muir, New York Times bestselling author of Gideon the Ninth

Storyline:  Holy work sometimes requires unholy deeds.  Brother Diaz has been summoned to the Sacred City, where he is certain a commendation and grand holy assignment awaits him.  But his new flock is made up of unrepentant murderers, practitioners of ghastly magic, and outright monsters.  The mission he is tasked with will require bloody measures from them all in order to achieve its righteous ends.  Elves lurk at our borders and hunger for our flesh, while greedy princes care for nothing but their own ambitions and comfort.  With a hellish journey before him, it’s a good thing Brother Diaz has the devils on his side.

Abercrombie was born in England, studied psychology at Manchester University, and worked as an editor of documentaries and live music before his first book, The Blade Itself, was published in 2006.  Two further installments of the First Law trilogy, Before They Are Hanged and Last Argument of Kings, followed, along with three standalone books set in the same world: Best Served Cold, The Heroes, and Red Country.  He has also written the Shattered Sea trilogy for young adults, the Age of Madness trilogy for old adults, and Sharp Ends, a collection of short stories.  He lives in Bath, England, with his wife and three children.  The Devils is his thirteenth novel.

Martin is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of many novels, including the acclaimed series A Song of Ice and Fire — A Game of Thrones, A Clash of Kings, A Storm of Swords, A Feast for Crows, and A Dance with Dragons — as well as Tuf Voyaging, Fevre Dream, The Armageddon Rag, Dying of the Light, Windhaven (with Lisa Tuttle), and Dreamsongs Volumes I and II.  He is also the creator of The Lands of Ice and Fire, a collection of maps from A Song of Ice and Fire featuring original artwork from illustrator and cartographer Jonathan Roberts, and The World of Ice & Fire (with Elio M. García, Jr., and Linda Antonsson).  As a writer-producer, Martin has worked on The Twilight Zone, Beauty and the Beast, and various feature films and pilots that were never made.  He lives with the lovely Parris in Santa Fe.
