ABOUT THIS EDITION

These are the first US hardcovers of The First Law trilogy in nearly 20 years, produced through the Lit Escalates Kickstarter campaign that ran November to December 2025. The campaign was the only way to obtain this edition. The trilogy that defined modern grimdark fantasy, in its definitive collector presentation, painted cover to endpaper by Joel Daniel Phillips, the artist behind the interior art of Abercrombie's The Devils.
