The First Law Universe

Grand Duke Orso is waging a fierce battle with the League of Eight. While armies burn enemy cities, the real battle takes place in the shadows: who will become king is not decided on the battlefield at all.
For Monza Mercatto, the most famous mercenary in the service of Duke Orso, war is a good way to make money. But instead of a reward from his employer, Mercatto receives a fatal blow. However, she survived. Now the seven who betrayed her will die. No matter what it costs.
Her allies are an unreliable drunkard, an insidious poisoner and a northerner who just wants to do things right. Her enemies are most of the country. Duke Orso will do anything to bring things to an end...
