Fall of Light
Before the Malazan Empire, there was a time that set the stage for all those tales yet to be told . . . The winter is bitter. Civil war threatens Kurald Galain for the warrior Urusander's army has begun its march on the city of Kharkanas. Led by the ruthless Hunn Raal, it intends to cast aside Mother Dark's consort, Draconus, and set Urusander himself on the throne beside the Living Goddess. Those who would stand in the way of the rebels lie scattered and weakened - leaderless since Anomander went in search of an estranged brother. In his stead, Silchas Ruin resolves to gather the Houseblades of the Highborn families to him, and to resurrect the legendary Hust Legion, but time is not on his side. Far to the west, an unlikely army musters. It seeks an enemy without form, in a place none can find. And yet Hood's call has been heard and the long-abandoned city of Omtose Phellack is now home to a rabble of new arrivals: Dog-Runners from the south, Jheck warriors, and blue-skinned strangers from across the Western Sea have come to offer Hood their swords. From the distant mountains and isolated valleys of the North, Thel Akai arrive to pledge themselves in this seemingly impossible war. Soon, they will set forth with weapons drawn under the banners of the living in pursuit of Death itself. Such events presage chaos, and now magic bleeds into this realm. Unconstrained, mysterious and savage, it begins to run loose and wild and following its scent, seeking the places of wounding and hurt - new and ancient entities gather.In a world becoming rotten with sorcery, can honour truly exist?

His soldiers are exhausted, worn down by the grind of a simmering insurrection. The last thing Arenfall needs is the arrival of the new Adjunct, fresh from the capital and the Emperor's side.The man's mission may be to lend support to Arenfall's efforts . . . or stick a knife in his back. 'Twas ever thus, of course. That a popular commander should inevitably be seen as a threat to the Emperor-such is the fatal nature of imperial Malazan politics.And what of the gods? Well, as recent history has proved, their solution to any mortal mess is to make it even messier. In other words, it's just another tumultuous day in the checkered history of the Malazan Empire.

Il Dio indifferente. Il primo racconto del Testimone
Sono passati molti anni da quando tre guerrieri Teblor hanno portato il caos e lo sterminio a Silver Lake. Ora le tribù del nord non si avventurano più nelle terre del sud. La città si è ripresa e tuttavia l¿eredità del passato rimane. In effetti, uno dei tre, Karsa Orlong, è ora venerato come un dio, anche se indifferente. In verità, molte nuove religioni sono emerse nel mondo di Malazan. Numerosi sono gli adoratori di Coltaine, il Signore dalle ali nere, mentre il culto di Iskar Jarak, Guardiano dei Morti, è popolare tra i soldati dell¿Impero. Rispondendo alle notizie di un crescente disagio tra le tribù oltre il confine, una legione di fanti Malazan di marina marcia verso Silver Lake. Non sono del tutto sicuri riguardo a ciò che li attende, ma, mentre l¿esercito di Malazan si è evoluto e questi non sono più i fanti di marina di un tempo, qualcosa non è cambiato: si occuperanno di qualunque sfida debbano affrontare. O moriranno provandoci... Das Urheberrecht an bibliographischen und produktbeschreibenden Daten und an den bereitgestellten Bildern liegt bei Informazioni Editoriali, I.E.
