In a world where empires rise and fall on the edge of a blade, and gods walk among mortals, one ancient power refuses to die. The Malazan Empire has conquered continent after continent, its armies led by ruthless generals and backed by terrifying sorcery. But when the Empire sets its sights on the last free city of Genabackis, it awakens forces far older and more dangerous than any soldier or mage. From the blood-soaked siege of Pale to the shadowed streets of Darujhistan, assassins, soldiers, mages, and ancient beings are drawn into a deadly game of power, betrayal, and survival. As the Lord of Moon’s Spawn clashes with the Empire’s High Mages, and gods begin to move in the shadows, the fate of an entire continent hangs in the balance. This is not a story of heroes. This is a story of war, ambition, and the price of empire. Welcome to the Malazan Empire.
