The Bonehunters

In the scorched aftermath of the Seven Cities Rebellion, the formidable Malazan Fourteenth Army finds itself poised before Y'Ghatan, a city steeped in Malazan blood and the site of Dassem Ultor's legendary fall. Under the fanatical command of Leoman of the Flails, the last remnants of Sha'ik's rebel forces have dug in, presenting a brutal siege for the already battle-weary soldiers. Yet, this mortal conflict pales against the cosmic upheaval stirring in the heavens. The Crippled God has ascended to the pantheon, igniting a dangerous schism among the deities, forcing them to choose sides in a war that will inevitably spill into the mortal realm. Across continents, familiar heroes and new players—from weary soldiers to powerful mages and ancient entities—find their destinies intertwined with these divine machinations. As gods and ascendants scheme and mortals strive for self-determination amidst overwhelming forces, the stage is set for a war unlike any other, where the very fabric of existence hangs in the balance, and even the gods are mere pawns in a grander, darker game.
