Synopsis "Malazan Book of the Fallen 10. The Crippled god "

The climax to the epic Malazan Book of the Fallen series that will determine how the world is ruled. Savaged by the K'Chain Nah'Ruk, the Bonehunters march for Kolanse, where waits an unknown fate. Tormented by questions, the army totters on the edge of mutiny, but Adjunct Tavore will not relent. One final act remains, if it is in her power, if she can hold her army together, if the shaky allegiances she has forged can survive all that is to come. A woman with no gifts of magic, deemed plain, unprepossessing, displaying nothing to instill loyalty or confidence, Tavore Paran of House Paran means to challenge the gods - if her own troops don't kill her first. Awaiting Tavore and her allies are the Forkrul Assail, the final arbiters of humanity. Drawing upon an alien power terrible in its magnitude, they seek to cleanse the world, to annihilate every human, every civilization, in order to begin anew. They welcome the coming conflagration of slaughter, for it shall be of their own devising, and it pleases them to know that, in the midst of the enemies gathering against them, there shall be betrayal. In the realm of Kurald Galain, home to the long lost city of Kharkanas, a mass of refugees stand upon the First Shore. Commanded by Yedan Derryg, the Watch, they await the breaching of Lightfall, and the coming of the Tiste Liosan. This is a war they cannot win, and they will die in the name of an empty city and a queen with no subjects. Elsewhere, the three Elder Gods, Kilmandaros, Errastas and Sechul Lath, work to shatter the chains binding Korabas, the Otataral Dragon, from her eternal prison. Once freed, she will rise as a force of devastation, and against her no mortal can stand. At the Gates of Starvald Demelain, the Azath House sealing the portal is dying. Soon will come the Eleint, and once more, there will be dragons in the world.

Steven Erikson (Toronto, Canada, October 7, 1959), pseudonym of Steve Rune Lundin, is a Canadian novelist with a background in archaeology and anthropology. A graduate of the Iowa Writers' Workshop, he incorporated his academic perspective into the creation of complex worlds and cultures, distinguishing his work within epic fantasy. He is internationally recognized for the Malazan Book of the Fallen decalogy, which began in 1999 with Gardens of the Moon and concluded in 2011 with The Crippled God, having sold over 3 million copies and considered by critics as one of the most influential sagas since Donaldson's Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, marking a milestone in fantasy literature for its ambition, structure, and thematic depth.

Following the success of the main series, Erikson expanded the Malaz universe with the Kharkanas trilogies and The Tales of Witness, as well as several novels and short stories. He also ventured into science fiction with the Willful Child trilogy. His work has been translated into numerous languages and warmly received by both critics and readers, who recognize the polarizing and challenging nature of his books. He has received various awards and nominations in the field of fantasy literature, and his innovative style establishes him as one of the most important voices of the genre in the 21st century. He currently resides in Canada and continues to work on new installments of the Malazan universe.
