Book description
On the Letherii continent the exiled Malazan army commanded by
Adjunct Tavore begins its march into the eastern Wastelands, to fight
for an unknown cause against an enemy it has never seen.
The fate awaiting the Bonehunters is one no soldier can prepare for,
and one no mortal soul can withstand - the foe is uncertainty and the
only weapon worth wielding is stubborn courage. In war everyone loses,
and this brutal truth can be found in the eyes of every soldier in
every world.
Destinies are never simple. Truths are neither clear nor sharp. The
Tales of the Malazan Book of the Fallen are drawing to a close in a
distant place, beneath indifferent skies, as the last great army of
the Malazan Empire seeks a final battle in the name of redemption.
Final questions remain to be answered: can one's deeds be heroic when
no one is there to see it? Can that which is unwitnessed forever
change the world? The answers await the Bonehunters, beyond the Wastelands...
