Summary:
All is not well in the Letherii Empire. Rhulad Sengar, the Emperor of
a Thousand Deaths, spirals into madness, surrounded by sycophants and
agents of his Machiavellian chancellor. Meanwhile, the Letherii
secret police conduct a campaign of terror against their own people.
The Errant, once a farseeing god, is suddenly blind to the future.
Conspiracies seethe throughout the palace, as the empire - driven by
the corrupt and self-interested - edges ever-closer to all-out war
with the neighboring kingdoms. The great Edur fleet--its warriors
selected from countless numbers of people--draws closer. Amongst the
warriors are Karsa Orlong and Icarium Lifestealer--each destined to
cross blades with the emperor himself. That yet more blood is to be
spilled is inevitable... Against this backdrop, a band of fugitives
seek a way out of the empire, but one of them, Fear Sengar, must find
the soul of Scabandari Bloodeye. It is his hope that the soul might
help halt the Tiste Edur, and so save his brother, the emperor. Yet,
traveling with them is Scabandari's most ancient foe: Silchas Ruin,
brother of Anomander Rake. And his motives are anything but certain -
for the wounds he carries on his back, made by the blades of
Scabandari, are still fresh. Fate decrees that there is to be a
reckoning, for such bloodshed cannot go unanswered--and it will be a
reckoning on an unimaginable scale. This is a brutal, harrowing novel
of war, intrigue and dark, uncontrollable magic; this is epic fantasy
at its most imaginative, storytelling at its most thrilling.
