The Bonehunters

The <b>Seven Cities Rebellion</b> is over, <b>Sha''ik </b>is dead, but a last rebel force remains, holed up in the city of <b>Y''Ghatan </b>under the fanatical command of <b>Leoman </b>of the Flails. The prospect of laying siege to this ancient fortress makes the battle-weary Malaz 14th Army uneasy - for it was here that the Empire''s greatest champion <b>Dassem Ultor</b> was slain and a tide of Malazan blood spilled... <br><br>But agents of a far greater conflict have made their opening moves. The <b>Crippled God</b> has been granted a place in the pantheon, a schism threatens, sides must be chosen but whatever each god decides, the rules have changed - and the first blood spilled will be in the mortal world: a world in which a host of characters, familiar and new, search for a fate that they might fashion by their own will. If only the gods would leave them alone. <br><br>But gods are disinclined to be kind. There shall be war, war in the heavens. And the prize? Nothing less than existence itself...
