'I stand slack-jawed in awe of The Malazan Book of the Fallen. 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' InterzoneIn Northern Genabackis just before the events recounted in Gardens of the Moon a raiding party of tribal warriors descends from the mountains into the southern flat lands. Their intention is to wreak havoc among the despised lowlanders but for one amongst their number it is the beginning of an extraordinary destiny. His name is Karsa Orlong. Some years later it is the aftermath of the Chain of Dogs. Coltaine revered commander of the Malazan 7th Army is dead. And now Tavore sister of Ganoes Paran and Adjunct to the Empress recently arrived at the last remaining Malazan stronghold of the Seven Cities must take charge. Untested and new to command she must hone a small army of twelve thousand soldiers mostly raw recruits into a viable fighting force and lead them against the masses of Sha'ik's Whirlwind. Her only hope of success rests with the few remaining survivors from Coltaine's legendary march.
