Více o knize

The Seven Cities Rebellion has been defeated, and Sha'ik is dead, but a final rebel faction remains in Y'Ghatan, led by the fanatical Leoman of the Flails. The Malaz 14th Army, weary from battle, is uneasy about besieging this ancient fortress, the site of Dassem Ultor's death and a massacre of Malazan soldiers. The atmosphere is thick with foreboding. Meanwhile, a greater conflict brews as the Crippled God gains a place in the pantheon, causing a schism that demands sides be taken. The rules of engagement have shifted dramatically, and the first bloodshed will occur in the mortal realm. A diverse cast of characters, including Heboric Ghost Hands, the possessed Apsalar, the killer Cutter, the warrior Karsa Orlong, and the ancient wanderers Icarium and Mappo, are each seeking to shape their destinies against the backdrop of divine interference. With tensions escalating and knives drawn, the gods are less inclined to show mercy. War looms, not just on earth but in the heavens, with the ultimate prize being existence itself. This installment continues the epic saga of the Malazan Book of the Fallen, celebrated for its imaginative scope and recognized as a fantasy classic.
