Blood and Bone (Malazan Empire Series #5)

Embark on a thrilling expedition into the heart of the Malazan World in this gripping tale of ancient magic, fierce battles, and destinies forged in the crucible of war.

In the western sky, the bright emerald banner of the Visitor descends like a portent of annihilation. On the continent of Jacuruku, the Thaumaturgs have mounted yet another expedition to tame the neighboring wild jungle. Yet this is no normal wilderness. It is called Himatan, and it is said to be half of the spirit realm and half of the earth. And it is said to be ruled by a powerful entity whom some name the Queen of Witches, and some a goddess: the ancient Ardata.

Saeng grew up knowing only the rule of the magus Thaumaturgs—but it was the voices out of that land's forgotten past that she listened to. And when her rulers mount an invasion of the neighboring jungle, those voices send her and her brother on a desperate mission.

To the south, the desert tribes are united by the arrival of a foreign warleader, a veteran commander in battered ashen mail whom his men call the Grey Ghost. This warleader takes the tribes on a raid like none other, deep into the heart of Thaumaturg lands. Meanwhile, word comes to K'azz and mercenary company the Crimson Guard of a contract in Jacuruku. And their employer...none other than Ardata herself.

Blood and Bone is another stunning entry in the New York Times bestselling Malazan World by Ian C. Esslemont, spinning a tale of gods and goddesses, necromancers and sorcerers, and the clash of ancient empires. Immerse yourself in this epic saga of dark magic, bloody battles, and complex characters, set against the backdrop of a richly-detailed world that will captivate fans of grimdark and military fantasy.
