Malazan Book Of Fallen 6




The sixth book in Erikson's acclaimed, epic Malazan Book of the Fallen fantasy sequence.

The Seven Cities Rebellion is over, Sha'ik is dead, but a last rebel force remains, holed up in the city of Y'Ghatan under the fanatical command of Leoman of the Flails. The prospect of laying siege to this ancient fortress makes the battle-weary Malaz 14th Army uneasy - for it was here that the Empire's greatest champion Dassem Ultor was slain and a tide of Malazan blood spilled...

But agents of a far greater conflict have made their opening moves. The Crippled God has been granted a place in the pantheon, a schism threatens, sides must be chosen but whatever each god decides, the rules have changed - and the first blood spilled will be in the mortal world: a world in which a host of characters, familiar and new, search for a fate that they might fashion by their own will. If only the gods would leave them alone.

But gods are disinclined to be kind. There shall be war, war in the heavens. And the prize? Nothing less than existence itself...

Praise for The Bonehunters

Extraordinarily enjoyable...Erikson is a master of lost and forgotten epochs, a weaver of ancient epics

SALON.COM

Gripping, fast-moving, delightfully dark...Erikson brings a punchy, mesmerizing writing style into the genre of epic fantasy, making an indelible impression. Utterly engrossing

ELIZABETH HAYDON

I stand slack jawed in awe of The Malazan Book of the Fallen. This masterwork of imagination may be the high watermark of epic fantasy

GLEN COOK, author of The Black Company series

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

This series has clearly established itself as the most significant work of epic fantasy since Stephen R. Donaldson's Chronicles of Thomas Covenant
