Descriere Forge of the High Mage: A Novel of the Malazan Empire - Ian C. Esslemont

\nA riotous new novel takes readers deeper into the politics and intrigue of the New York Times bestselling Malazan Empire \n \nAfter decades of warfare, Malazan forces are poised to consolidate the Quon Tali mainland. \nYet it is at this moment that Emperor Kellanved orders a new, some believe foolhardy campaign: the invasion of Falar that lies far to the north . . . \n \nAnd to fight on this new front, a rag-tag army raised from orphaned units and broken squads is been brought together under Fist Dujek, and joined by a similarly motley fleet under the command of the Emperor himself. \n \nSo the Malazans head north, only to encounter an unlooked-for and most unwelcome threat. Something unspeakable and born of legend has awoken and will destroy all who stand in its way. Most appalled by this is the Empire's untested High Mage, Tayschrenn. All too aware of the true nature of this ancient horror, he fears his own inadequacies when the time comes to confront it. \nYet confront it he must. \n \nFalar itself far from defenceless. Its priests possess a weapon - rumoured to be a gift from the sea god, Mael - a weapon so terrifying it has not been unleashed for centuries. But two can play at that game, for the Emperor's flagship is also believed to be not entirely of this world. \n \nThese are turbulent, treacherous and bloody times for all caught up in the forging of an Empire and so, amongst the Ice Wastes and in the archipelago of Falar, the Malazans must face two seemingly insurmountable tests, each one potentially the origin of their destruction . . .\n
