In this, the seventh chapter in Steven Erikson’s monumental The Malazan Book of the Fallen, there will be a reckoning, and it will be on an unimaginable scale . . .

The Letherii Empire is in turmoil . . .

As Rhulad Sengar, Emperor of a Thousand Deaths, spirals into madness, the far-seeing god, the Errant, is suddenly blind to the future. And those self-serving courtiers who claim the emperor’s ear seem intent on waging all-out war against the empire's neighbours.

And there is the matter of the Tiste Edur fleet that draws ever closer. Amongst its number are Karsa Orlong and Icarium Lifestealer, and their presence alone means that blood will be spilled.

But a small band of fugitives seeks a way out. One of their company, Fear Sengar, hunts the soul of Scabandari Bloodeye. With his help, they might halt the Edur and save his brother, the Emperor.

However, Silchas Ruin, brother of Anomander Rake, also travels with them. The scars he carries were made by the blades of Scabandari - and he wants revenge . . .

‘Wonderous voyages, demons and gods abound . . . dense and complex . . . and ultimately rewarding’ LOCUS

About Steven Erikson

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.
