Synopsis "Midnight Tides - a Tale of the Malazan Book of the Fallen"

After decades of internecine warfare, the tribes of the Tiste Edur have at last united under the Warlock King of the Hiroth, There is peace--but it has been exacted at a terrible price: a pact made with a hidden power whose motives are at best suspect, at worst deadly. To the south, the expansionist kingdom of Lether, eager to fulfill its long-prophesized renaissance as an Empire reborn, has enslaved all its less-civilized neighbors with rapacious hunger. All, that is, save one--the Tiste Edur. And it must be only a matter of time before they too fall--either beneath the suffocating weight of gold, or by slaughter at the edge of a sword. Or so destiny has decreed. Yet as the two sides gather for a pivotal treaty neither truly wants, ancient forces are awakening. For the impending struggle between these two peoples is but a pale reflection of a far more profound, primal battle--a confrontation with the still-raw wound of an old betrayal and the craving for revenge at its seething heart.

Steven Erikson (Toronto, 1959), arqueólogo y antropólogo, es una de las mayores voces de la fantasía épica contemporánea, gracias a su decalogía Malaz: El Libro de los Caídos, una de las obras más ambiciosas y osadas que el género ha dado en las últimas décadas. Originalmente publicada entre 1999 y 2011, Malaz ha sido desde entonces definida como «una obra maestra indiscutible de la imaginación», capaz de labrarse un público fiel en las principales lenguas del mundo. Los jardines de la Luna, primer volumen de la saga, fue finalista del World Fantasy Award del año 2000. NOVA ha publicado todos los títulos de la serie.
