Words are weapons . Everything that was dear to Princess Scara became blood and ashes. She only got the words. But the right words are just as dangerous as any weapon. To regain what belongs to her by birth, she must overcome her fears and hone her mind to the point of death. Only half of the war is fought with swords. The Clever Father Jarvey has come a long way from a crippled slave to a royal minister. With his help, the old enemies became allies and together established a fragile peace. But now, the ruthless Pramater Vexen has assembled the greatest army since the Elves went to war against God, and at its head has placed the Bright Illing - a man who worships only Death. Evil can only be defeated by evil. Some, such as Batu the thorn and Raitt the squire, are born to fight or die. Others - like the blacksmith Brand and the woodcarver Coll - prefer to stand in the light. Will the entire Broken Sea sink into darkness if Mother War spreads her iron wings?"Half War" - the third novel by British writer Joe Abercrombie, the end of the trilogy about the Broken Sea.
