The thrilling third volume in Steven Erikson's epic fantasy sequence, The Malazan Book of the Fallen.The ravaged continent of Genabackis has given birth to a terrifying new empire: the Pannion Domin. Like a fanatical tide of corrupted blood, it seethes across the land, devouring all who fail to heed the Word of its elusive prophet, the Pannion Seer. In its path stands an uneasy alliance: Dujek Onearm's Host and the Bridgeburners ­ each now outlawed by the Empress ­ alongside their enemies of old including the grim forces of Warlord Caladan Brood, Anomander Rake, Son of Darkness, and his Tiste Andii, and the Rhivi people of the Plains.But more ancient clans too are gathering. As if in answer to some primal summons, the massed ranks of the undead T'lan Imass have risen. For it would seem something altogether darker and more malign threatens the very substance of this world. The Warrens are poisoned and rumours abound of the Crippled God, now unchained and intent on a terrible revenge...Marking the return of many favourite characters from GARDENS OF THE MOON and introducing a host of remarkable new players, MEMORIES OF ICE is a thrilling new chapter in Erikson's magnificent epic fantasy and another triumph of storytelling. The Pannion Domin is sweeping across the land, ravaging anything and anyone that refuses to heed the word of its elusive prophet, the Pannion Seer, and it is up to Dujek Onearm's Host and Whiskeyjack's veteran Bridgeburners to stop the Domin before the entire world is destroyed A third volume of the fantasy epic that began with Gardens of the Moon finds the uneasy alliance between Onearms army and Whiskeyjacks Bridgeburners against the Pannion Domin empire further challenged by rumors that the Crippled God has escaped and is out for revenge Steven Erikson.
