The tumultuous eighth chapter in Steven Erikson's epic The Malazan Book of the Fallen - and the story enters its final, climactic stages.

It is said that Hood waits at the end of every plot, every scheme, each grandiose ambition . . .

But this time it is different: this time the Lord of Death is there at the beginning.

Darujhistan swelters and seethes with portents, rumours and whispers. Strangers have arrived, a murderer is abroad, and assassins are targeting the owners of K'rul's Bar. But such events will be dwarfed by what is about to happen - for in the distance can be heard the baying of hounds.

And in far-away Black Coral, the ruling Tiste Andii appear oblivious to the threat posed by the cult of the Redeemer - an honourable, once-mortal man who now seems powerless against the twisted vision of his followers.

So Hood stands at the beginning of a conspiracy that will shake the cosmos, but at its end there waits another: Anomander Rake, Son of Darkness, who has vowed to right an ancient and terrible wrong . . .

'Beautifully melancholic and exhilaratingly epic . . . one of the finest fantasy novels ever written'

Über den Autor

Archaeologist and anthropologist Steven Erikson is the bestselling author of the genre-defining The Malazan Book of the Fallen, a multi-volume fantasy that's been hailed 'a masterwork of the imagination' and one of the top ten fantasy series of all time. The first novel in the sequence, Gardens of the Moon, was shortlisted for a World Fantasy Award. He has written several novellas set in the same world. Forge of Darkness was the first Kharkanas novel, taking readers back to the origins of what would become the Malazan Empire; Fall of Light continued this momentous tale.
A lifelong science fiction reader, he's written a trilogy that affectionately parodies a long-running television series as well as Rejoice, a Knife to the Heart, a story of first contact.
Set in the world of the Malazan Empire, ten years after the events recounted in The Crippled God, The God is Not Willing heralded the start of a thrilling new series - The Tales of Witness - continued in No Life Forsaken. Legacies of Betrayal is the third novel in this epic adventure.
