The eighth book in Erikson's acclaimed Malazan Book of the Fallen fantasy sequence

It

is said that Hood waits at the end of every plot, every scheme, each

grandiose ambition. But this time it is different- this time the Lord of

Death is there at the beginning... Darujhistan swelters in the

summer heat and seethes with portents, rumours and whispers. Strangers

have arrived, a murderer is abroad, past-tyrannies are stirring and

assassins seem to be targeting the owners of K'rul's Bar. For the

rotund, waistcoat-clad man knows such events will be dwarfed by what is

about to happen- for in the distance can be heard the baying of hounds. Far

away, in Black Coral, the ruling Tiste Andii appear oblivious to the

threat posed by the fast-growing cult of the Redeemer - an honourable,

one-mortal man who seems powerless against the twisted vision of his

followers.

So Hood waits at the beginning of a conspiracy that will

shake the cosmos, but at its end there is another- Anomander Rake, Son

of Darkness, has come to right an ancient and terrible wrong...

Archaeologist and anthropologist Steven Erikson's debut fantasy novel, Gardens of the Moon,

was shortlisted for the World Fantasy Award and introduced fantasy

readers to his epic 'The Malazan Book of the Fallen' sequence, which has

been hailed 'a masterwork of the imagination'. This River Awakens was

his first novel, and originally published under the name Steve Lundin.

Having lived in Cornwall for a number of years, Steve will be returning

to Canada in late summer 2012. To find out more, visit www.malazanempire.com and www.stevenerikson.com
