If you were riveted by Monza Murcatto's relentless pursuit of vengeance in Best Served Cold, you'll be equally drawn to Locke Lamora as he schemes his way through Camorr's underworld on a mission that spirals into a deadly game of retribution. The book's tightly plotted heists and personal vendettas mirror the razor-sharp focus and drive that made Best Served Cold so compelling.
If you loved the shifting alliances and deeply flawed cast in Best Served Cold, The Heroes delivers another gripping tapestry of perspectives.

If what drew you to Best Served Cold was its cast of ruthless, morally gray protagonists—like Monza and Shivers—The Blade Itself introduces you to even more unforgettable anti-heroes. From the tortured torturer Glokta to the selfish swordsman Logen Ninefingers, every character walks the razor’s edge between good and evil, making for a deliciously unpredictable read.
If the brutal world of Styria and Monza’s blood-soaked campaign hooked you, you’ll be gripped by Jorg Ancrath’s merciless journey in Prince of Thorns. The book’s bleak tone, graphic violence, and unflinching look at the cost of ambition evoke the same visceral, dark energy that made Best Served Cold unforgettable.
