Publisher Description
'This masterwork of the imagination may be the high watermark of epic fantasy.' Glen Cook
'This is true myth in the making, a drawing upon fantasy to recreate histories and legends as rich as any found within our culture' Interzone
In the Holy Desert Raraku, the seer Sha'ik and her followers prepare for the long-prophesied uprising named the Whirlwind.
Enslaved in the Otataral mines, Felisin - youngest scion of the disgraced House of Paran - dreams of freedom and vows revenge.
The outlawed Bridgeburners Fiddler and Kalam conspire to rid the world of the Empress Laseen - although it seems the gods would, as always, have it otherwise.
And as two ancient warriors - bearers of a devastating secret - enter this blighted land, so an untried commander of the Malaz 7th Army leads his war-weary troops in a last, valiant running battle to save the lives of thirty thousand refugees.
In this thrilling second chapter in the epic story of the Malazan empire, war and betrayal, intrigue and roiling magic collide, shaping destinies and giving birth to legends . . .
'One of the best fantasy novels of the year.' SF Site

Customer Reviews
Phenomenal
Astounding read,I am only on book two,the sheer scale of it so far….reminiscent of Herbert……so far,I’ve a tingling sensation that Mr Erikson may surpass them all,Warhammer included.
Outstanding
The plot... It's too much... Help...
Going into this series, after reading A Song of Ice and Fire, I presumed that it wouldn't be to hard... I was terribly wrong
Still, this is an amazing book, I have never felt so many emotions in one story.
Well I tried.
I have now read the first two of this series and I think I am going to have to give up. They are beautifully written and highly complex. So complex that I am drowning in a sea of characters and plot lines. I enjoy living in the worlds created by authors like Steven Erikson but this is world has me beat.
