Essential reading for Malazan fans, this enthralling second chapter in Ian C. Esslemont's awesome epic fantasy sequence that began with the acclaimed Dancer's Lament returns to that troubled continent's turbulent early history.
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.

Tremendous . . . I loved having the opportunity to glimpse
characters in a completely different light, and the creation of the
Malazan Empire through the lens of reality rather than myth.
Deadhouse Landing is one of Esslemont's best books to date . . .
for fans of anything Malazan, this is an absolute must.
*FANTASY BOOK REVIEW 'Recommended Book of the Month'*
