GARDENS OF THE MOON
Volume One of the Malazan Book
of the Fallen
Tor Books is proud to present GARDENS OF THE MOON (A Tor
Hardcover; $24.95; June 16, 2004), the first book in Steven Erikson's
ten-book Malazan Book of the Fallen series. Conceived and
written on a panoramic scale, GARDENS OF THE MOON is epic
fantasy of the highest order — an enthralling adventure by
an outstanding new voice.
 The
Malazan Empire simmers with discontent, bled dry by interminable
warfare, bitter infighting and bloody confrontations with the formidable
Anomander Rake and his Tiste Andii, 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 dread Claw assassins.
For Sergeant Whiskeyjack and his squad of Bridgeburners, and for
Tattersail, surviving cadre mage of the Second Legion, the aftermath
of the siege of Pale should have been a time to mourn the many dead.
But Darujhistan, last of the Free Cities of Genabackis, yet holds
out. It is to this ancient citadel that Laseen turns her predatory
gaze.
However, it would appear that the Empire is not alone in this great
game. Sinister, shadowbound forces are gathering as the gods themselves
prepare to play their hand...
