Description

In the war-scarred expanses of Northern Genabackis, a brutal tribal raiding party surges from the mountains into the flatlands, setting off a chain of violence that draws empires, gods, and mortals into the same widening conflict. As shifting loyalties and hard-won survival collide, the story follows multiple threads of vengeance and endurance, revealing how power is earned, traded, and sometimes stolen from the very people who think they control it. With Steven Erikson’s signature epic scope and uncompromising character work, the novel explores themes of identity, brutality, and the thin line between freedom and captivity. Blending relentless momentum with startling revelations, it delivers a high-stakes continuation of the Malazan Book of the Fallen that rewards readers who can endure its early turbulence and embrace its vast, interconnected world.
