New York Times bestselling author Steven Erikson continues his beloved Malazan Book of the Fallen‑the iconic epic fantasy series with millions of copies sold worldwide‑with the third book in the thrilling Tales of Witness series.
Endless training, grueling marches, and the frenzy of battle against more enemies than can be counted, such is the life of a marine in the Malazan Empire. Year by year, month by month, week by week, day by day, moment by moment. Skills honed to deadly precision, the secret language of the soldier in a world drowning in perpetual discontent, the eternal conflict against the fates.
As a new holy war starts sparked in the fire‑blackened cauldron of Seven Cities, the Fifth and Sixth squads are about to embark a mission they don't want. Not that anybody asked them. They can only hope that their objective isn't as hopeless as it seems, that they aren't a strategic sacrifice in machinations of their betters.
