Half a King by Joe Abercrombie Yarvi, a crippled young prince, is fast-tracked into king after the death of his father and eldest brother. He swears an oath to avenge their death but he is betrayed and ends up as a slave oarsman in a merchant ship. We follow his journey with his fellowship of outcasts to fulfill his vengeance and recover his throne.
