"This novel and all others in the Malazan Book of the Fallen series follow my own pronunciations of 'Malazan' words and names. And the prize? Nothing less than existence itself. But now that knives have been unsheathed, the gods are disinclined to be kind. A world in which a host of characters, familiar and new, including Heboric Ghost Hands the possessed Apsalar Cutter, once a thief now a killer the warrior Karsa Orlong and the two ancient wanderers Icarium and Mappo, each searching for such a fate as they might fashion with their own hands, guided by their own will. Whatever each god decides, the ground rules have changed irrevocably, terrifyingly, and the first blood spilled will be in the mortal world. The Crippled God has been granted a place in the pantheon a schism threatens and sides must be chosen. But elsewhere, agents of a far greater conflict have made their opening moves. A place of foreboding, its smell is of death. For it was here that the Empire’s greatest champion, Dassem Ultor, was slain and a tide of Malazan blood spilled. The prospect of laying siege to this ancient fortress makes the battle-weary Malazan Fourteenth Army uneasy. One last rebel force remains, holed up in the city of Y’Ghatan and under the fanatical command of Leoman of the Flails. Donaldson The Seven Cities Rebellion has been crushed.
“The kind of epic narrative that will have you scrambling for more.” -Stephen R.
