About this listen

'Abercrombie is in a class of his own' JOE HILL
'An unholy delight' PIERCE BROWN
'Hilarious, profound, tragic, and so thrillingly paced' NICHOLAS EAMES
'An incredibly fun, incredibly action-packed and, by the end, incredibly affecting book' TAMSYN MUIR

Europe stares into the abyss.

Plague and famine stalk the land, monsters lurk in every shadow and greedy princes care for nothing but their own ambitions. Only one thing is certain: the elves will come again, and they will eat everyone.

Sometimes, only the darkest paths lead towards the light. Paths on which the righteous will not dare to tread . . .

And so, buried beneath the sacred splendour of the Celestial Palace, is the secret Chapel of the Holy Expediency. For its congregation of convicted monsters there are no sins that have not been committed, no lines that will not be crossed, and no mission that cannot be turned into a disastrous bloodbath.

Now the hapless Brother Diaz must somehow bind the worst of the worst to a higher cause: to put a thief on the throne of Troy, and unite the sundered church against the coming apocalypse.

When you're headed through hell, you need the devils on your side.©2025 Joe Abercrombie (P)2025 Orion Publishing Group Limited

Loved everything, apart from the fact that it had to come to an end. Joe has outdone himself.

Fantastic action and characterisation

I was scared it wouldn't live up to The First law. But this is fantastic and equally good. Each character is amazing and the narrator is amazing. In love with the book. The humour is on point as well.

Abercrombie is back!

The Devils is a wickedly fun ride—packed with sharp humor, instantly lovable rogues, and that signature grit only he can deliver. The characters are chaotic, charming, and completely addictive. But the real magic? Steven Pacey’s narration. He brings every voice to life with perfect nuance and wit, turning a brilliant book into an unforgettable experience. Abercrombie and Pacey are an unbeatable team—no one else does dark fantasy this well or this funny.

You HAVE to listen to this!

Suffers from what most contemporary fantasy suffers from. Entirely unoriginal and filled with all the common fantasy tropes. This was the same old thing everyone is writing nowadays. Quite frankly it was boring. Well written but boring.

Mediocre
