Description
All manner of folk have come for riches or fame, but few are prepared for Assail.
This is a thrilling close to the Malazan Empire series and just as engaging as a standalone; this novel will not disappoint. Ideal for fans of Steven Erikson, David Gemmell and Brandon Sanderson.
A new horizon dawns. Wrap up warm.
To the north lies Assail. It is a land that has been impenetrable for centuries.
Now, as the ice begins to melt, it starts to yield its long-hidden secrets and the steady march through this hostile environment begins. Awaiting those brave enough to make the journey is the murmured promise of riches and reverence.
Some go seeking answers, some wealth, and some simply adventure.
In the south waits Silverfox. The newly incarnate Summoner of the undying army of the T'lan Imass, she will do anything in her power to halt the renewal of an ages-old crusade — a crusade that could lay waste to the entire continent and beyond.
Shedding light on the mysteries that span the Malazan Empire, and offering glimpses into the epic history that shaped it, Assail brings this empire's epic story to a thrilling close.
