The sixth novel in the series brings together all three lines of the narrative of a large-scale epic. The Semigrad uprising was defeated, but the position of the conquerors is only getting worse. The new Malaz army, led by Tavora Paran, stubbornly pursues the remnants of the rebel troops, unaware that a hellish trap has already been laid for it. The devastated country is engulfed by plague, into whose arms the army of Dajek, returning from the Pannion War, falls. The grayskin fleet terrorizes the coast; Having devastated entire cities, the non-humans kindly invite the survivors to sail to their homeland to fight in a fair battle with the Emperor there (you see, the sovereign loves it when they kill him...) Released ancient monsters roam the outskirts of the Holy Cities. Who are they hunting for? For the damned warrior Icarius and his faithful companion Mappo? For Toblakai, unstoppable in battle, who already considers himself stronger than Ikarius? Or for Heboric, the priest of the new god Treik? A situation in which the battered Malazan army is forced to flee from the “reconquered” continent can hardly be considered a victory. Meeting unexpected allies and unknown enemies, the Malazans sail home. The reception he prepared at home could not be called cordial. Secretive Tavora is calm, for only she knows: the fate of the empire and the world will be decided on shores not yet marked on Malazan maps. Getting there is not easy, but the guide is already waiting - where the history of the Kellanved Empire began a hundred years ago, the history of something new is being created...
