All is not well in the Letherii Empire. Rhulad Sengar, the Emperor
of a Thousand Deaths, spirals into madness, surrounded by
sycophants and agents of his Machiavellian chancellor. Meanwhile,
the Letherii secret police conduct a campaign of terror against
their own people. The Errant, once a farseeing god, is suddenly
blind to the future. Conspiracies seethe throughout the palace, as
the empire - driven by the corrupt and self-interested - edges
ever-closer to all-out war with the neighboring kingdoms. The great
Edur fleet--its warriors selected from countless numbers of
people--draws closer. Amongst the warriors are Karsa Orlong and
Icarium Lifestealer--each destined to cross blades with the emperor
himself. That yet more blood is to be spilled is inevitable...
Against this backdrop, a band of fugitives seek a way out of the
empire, but one of them, Fear Sengar, must find the soul of
Scabandari Bloodeye. It is his hope that the soul might help halt
the Tiste Edur, and so save his brother, the emperor. Yet,
traveling with them is Scabandari's most ancient foe: Silchas Ruin,
brother of Anomander Rake. And his motives are anything but certain
- for the wounds he carries on his back, made by the blades of
Scabandari, are still fresh. Fate decrees that there is to be a
reckoning, for such bloodshed cannot go unanswered--and it will be
a reckoning on an unimaginable scale. This is a brutal, harrowing
novel of war, intrigue and dark, uncontrollable magic; this is epic
fantasy at its most imaginative, storytelling at its most
thrilling.
