‘A gem of a read.’ Fantasy Book Review

The Malazan Empire - vast, omnipotent and unforgiving . . .

The small island of Malaz and its city may have given this great empire its name, but it is now little more than a sleepy backwater. Until tonight.

Tonight the city is on edge – streets humming with desperate, urgent activity as its citizens hurry to lock up shops, bar doors and shutter windows.

For tonight, there is to be a convergence. The once-in-a-generation appearance of a Shadow Moon – an event that threatens the good people of Malaz with demon hounds and all manner of other, darker things.

And tonight, it is prophesied that the Emperor Kellanved will return – and there are those who would prevent that happening at any cost. As various factions align themselves, a far more ancient presence prepares an all-out assault upon the island.

Witnesses to these cataclysmic events will include Kiska, a young thief who yearns to flee the city, and the war-weary veteran Temper, who simply wants to escape his past.

Although they do not know it, they each have a part to play in a confrontation that will not only determine the fate of Malaz City but also of the world beyond . . .
