Malazan “Book of the Fallen” - 2Semipolis... An ancient continent, the history of which is lost in the depths of millennia. Having conquered it, the Malazans never took the legends and beliefs of the local tribes seriously. The power of the Empire in Semigradia seemed unshakable to them, and the prophecies about Drijna, sacred retribution, were just another rumor. Until a terrible night, when rumors suddenly turned into an ominous reality. Having recovered from the “Semigrad strike”, the Empire begins to take revenge. An army lands on the continent under the command of Adjunct Tavora, a woman with an iron will and a complete lack of pity. Tavora is determined to brutally punish the rebels. But she doesn’t yet know who she will face in the sands of the sacred Raraku desert. The book series by Steven Erikson is one of the most popular fantasy series of recent years. He is deservedly compared to the famous “Black Squad” by Glen Cook.
