The debut novel from the co-creator of Steven Erikson's brilliantly-imagined world of Malaz.
Born in Winnipeg in 1962, IAN CAMERON ESSLEMONT has studied and
worked as an archaeologist, travelled extensively in South East
Asia and lived in Thailand and Japan for several years. He now
lives in Fairbanks, Alaska, with his wife and children. His novels
- beginning with Night of Knives - are all set in the fantasy world
of Malaz that he co-created with Steven Erikson. Dancer's Lament
was the first book in the 'Paths to Ascendancy' sequence (which
continues the story of the turbulent early history of this epic
imagined world) while Forge of the High Mage is the fourth.

Visceral power... telling a story set largely over just one
terrifying night, it pulverises you with an economy that's rare in
fantasy

I had a blast reading Night of Knives... I highly recommend it to
anyone who has enjoyed the Steven Erikson novels
