Gardens of the Moon (Malazan Book of the Fallen Series, 1)
Description
The Malazan Empire simmers with discontent, bled dry by interminable warfare,
bitter infighting, and bloody confrontations with ancient and implacable
sorcerers. Even the imperial legions, long inured to the bloodshed, yearn for
some respite. Yet Empress Laseen’s rule remains absolute, enforced by her
dreaded Claw assassins. For Sergeant Whiskeyjack and his squad of
Bridgeburners, and for Tattersail, their lone surviving mage, the aftermath of
the siege of Pale should have been a time to mourn the many dead. But
Darujhistan, last of the Free Cities, yet holds out. It is to this ancient
citadel that Laseen turns her predatory gaze. However, the Empire is not alone
in this great game. Sinister, shadowbound forces are gathering as the gods
themselves prepare to play their hand. . . . Conceived and written on a
panoramic scale, Gardens of the Moon is epic fantasy of the highest order — an
enthralling adventure by an outstanding voice. “I stand slack-jawed in awe of
The Malazan Book of the Fallen. This masterwork of imagination may be the
high-water mark of epic fantasy. This marathon of ambition has a depth and
breadth and sense of vast reaches of inimical time unlike anything else
available today. The Black Company, Zelazny’s Amber, Vance’s Dying Earth, and
other mighty drumbeats are but foreshadowings of this dark dragon’s hoard.” –
