Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Set in the awe-inspiring world of the Malazan Empire, three tales of the enigmatic and ever-so-slightly evil necromancers Bauchelain and Korbal Broach are collected together in a single, readily available volume.


The necromancers Bauchelain and Korbal Broach—scourges of civilization, raisers of the dead, reapers of the souls of the living, devourers of hope, betrayers of faith, slayers of the innocent and modest personifications of evil—have a lot to answer for, and answer they will. But first, they must lie, murder, and cheat their way through three more escapades in some of the more deprived fringes and impoverished communities of the Malazan Empire. Much to the shame of their long-suffering general factotum, Emancipoor Reese...

Here then—for readers' delectation and entertainment—are those escapades, namely the novellas The Crack'd Pot Trail, The Wurms of Blearmouth, and The Fiends of Nightmaria.

About the Author

Archaeologist and anthropologist, Steven Erikson is the bestselling author of the genre-defining The Malazan Book of the Fallen, a multi-volume epic fantasy that's been hailed 'a masterwork of the imagination' and one of the top ten fantasy series of all time. The first novel in the series, Gardens of the Moon, was short-listed for the World Fantasy Award. He has also written several novellas set in the same world. Forge of Darkness is the first Kharkanas novel and takes readers back to the origins of the Malazan world. Fall of Light continues this epic tale. A lifelong science fiction reader, he has also written fiction affectionately parodying a long-running SF television series and Rejoice!, a novel of first contact. The God is Not Willing is the opening chapter in a new sequence - The Tales of Witness - and is set in the world of the Malazan Empire, ten years after the events recounted in The Crippled God. Steven Erikson lives in Victoria, Canada. To find out more, visit www.steven-erikson.org - and he's also on Facebook- Steven Erikson-Author.
