Narrating the story of a kingdom exhausted by endless wars, internal conflicts, and bloody encounters with Lord Anomander Rake and the Tiste Andii, the vast Malazan Empire simmers with discontent. Even the imperial legions desire some respite. For Sergeant Whiskeyjack and the Bridgeburners, as well as Tattersail - the sole surviving mage of the Second Legion - the post-siege period of Pale should be a time of mourning for the dead. However, Darujhistan, the last of the Free Cities of Genabackis, continues to resist the empire - and Empress Lasseen's ambition knows no bounds. It seems, though, that the empire is not alone in this great game. Dark forces gather as the gods prepare to play their own hand . . .

Authors and readers will appreciate the epic scale of the story, as Gardens of the Moon is an impressive achievement - a novel in which grand design, dark and intricate mythology, wild and subversive magic, and a host of enduring characters combine with immersive and powerful storytelling.
