A dark setting and crude humor preferred, something with the tone of the likes of h{{The Blacktongue Thief}} and h{{Kings of the Wyld}}
I understand they are a series with both a prequel and a sequel respectively, though so long as the first book is standalone-ish, I'm fine with it.
Thanks in advance!

>Set in a world of goblin wars, stag-sized battle ravens, and assassins who kill with deadly tattoos, Christopher Buehlman’s The Blacktongue Thief begins a ‘dazzling’ (Robin Hobb) fantasy adventure unlike any other. Kinch Na Shannack owes the Takers Guild a small fortune for his education as a thief, which includes (but is not limited to) lock-picking, knife-fighting, wall-scaling, fall-breaking, lie-weaving, trap-making, plus a few small magics. His debt has driven him to lie in wait by the old forest road, planning to rob the next traveler that crosses his path. But today, Kinch Na Shannack has picked the wrong mark. Galva is a knight, a survivor of the brutal goblin wars, and handmaiden of the goddess of death. She is searching for her queen, missing since a distant northern city fell to giants. Unsuccessful in his robbery and lucky to escape with his life, Kinch now finds his fate entangled with Galva’s. Common enemies and uncommon dangers force thief and knight on an epic journey where goblins hunger for human flesh, krakens hunt in dark waters, and honor is a luxury few can afford. “The Blacktongue Thief is fast and fun and filled with crazy magic. I can’t wait to see what Christopher Buehlman does next.” – Brent Weeks, New York Times bestselling author of the Lightbringer series At the Publisher’s request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

>’A fantastic read, a rollicking, page-turning, edge-of-your-seat road-trip of a book’ – John Gwynne Clay Cooper and his band were once the best of the best – the meanest, dirtiest, most feared and admired crew of mercenaries this side of the Heartwyld. But their glory days are long past; the mercs have grown apart and grown old, fat, drunk – or a combination of the three. Then a former bandmate turns up at Clay’s door with a plea for help: his daughter Rose is trapped in a city besieged by an enemy horde one hundred thousand strong and hungry for blood. Rescuing Rose is the kind of impossible mission that only the very brave or the very stupid would sign up for. It’s time to get the band back together for one last tour across the Wyld. ***WINNER OF THE 2018 GEMMELL AWARD FOR BEST DEBUT*** ***WINNER OF FANTASY FACTION’S BEST FANTASY BOOK OF 2017 AWARD*** ***WINNER OF REDDIT FANTASY’S BEST DEBUT NOVEL OF 2017 AWARD*** LOOK OUT FOR BLOODY ROSE, THE SECOND BOOK IN THE BAND SERIES
