Half a king / Joe Abercrombie.

Abercrombie, Joe. (Author).

Summary:

Heir to the throne Yarvi, prompted by the murder of his father, embarks on a kingdom-transforming journey to regain the throne, even though having only one good hand means he cannot wield a weapon.
Prince Yarvi has vowed to regain a throne he never wanted... if he can must survive cruelty, chains, and the bitter waters of the Shattered Sea. Born with only one good hand, in a world where a strong arm and a cold heart rule, Yarvi cannot grip a shield or swing an axe, so he must sharpen his mind to a deadly edge. He gathers a strange fellowship of the outcast and the lost, who help him become the man he needs to be. But even with loyal friends at his side, Yarvi finds that his path may end as it began-- in twists, and traps, and tragedy.
