      Thrice upon a time, three worlds are in peril as champions seek a shared destiny. Over two decades, Galen Arvad's band of outlaw Mystics has evolved into a nation of secret clans, facing persecution from the Pir theocracy and enslaving dragons. In another realm, faery Dwynwyn saved her people by raising an army of the dead, but now their restless spirits threaten the faery kingdoms. Meanwhile, on a third world, King Mimic's tyrannical rule is challenged by a warrior maiden whose ambition rivals his own. Through the magic of dreams connecting their worlds, a new wind beckons them toward unknown lands, offering salvation, sanctuary, and power. For Caelith, Galen's war-weary son, hope appears as a stranger's vow to guide him to the legendary ancestral home of the Mystics. Dwynwyn seeks peace for her people through a fellowship of Fae on a perilous journey to a land of horror, where their truth might bring solace to both the living and the dead. Lastly, Thux, a wizard-goblin and reluctant Technomancer to King Mimic, faces danger on his path to the Ogre citadel, where power and betrayal lurk. As these heroes embark on their odysseys, they must navigate outer tragedy and inner treachery, for the survival of all three worlds hinges on their success against a cunning evil.

      Bled dry by interminable warfare, infighting and bloody confrontations with Lord Anomander Rake and his Tiste Andii, the vast, sprawling Malazan empire simmers with discontent. Even its imperial legions yearn for some respite. For Sergeant Whiskeyjack and his Bridgeburners, and for Tattersail - sole surviving sorceress of the Second Legion - the aftermath of the siege of Pale should have been a time to mourn the dead. But Darujhistan, the last of the Free Cities of Genabackis, still holds out against the empire - and Empress Lasseen's ambition knows no bounds. However, it seems the empire is not alone in this great game. Sinister forces gather as the gods themselves prepare to play their hand . . . Conceived and written on an epic scale, Gardens of the Moon is a breathtaking achievement - a novel in which grand design, a dark and complex mythology, wild and wayward magic and a host of enduring characters combine with thrilling, powerful storytelling to resounding effect.
