En savoir plus sur le livre

An enthralling third chapter in the epic fantasy sequence 'Path to Ascendancy' by Ian C. Esslemont delves into the tumultuous early history of the Malazan Empire. The relentless conflict among the city-states of Quon Tali continues, with lords and princes engrossed in their own petty feuds, largely unaware of an ambitious mage from Dal Hon who has seized control of the southern seas. Amidst this chaos, a mercenary caught in the crossfire suddenly disrupts the ongoing war between Purge and Tali, sparking further turmoil. Meanwhile, two escapees from Castle Gris traverse the war-torn landscape, seeking the legendary Crimson Guard. Kellanved, indifferent to the political machinations and warfare, is drawn to a deeper mystery that compels him and a skeptical Dancer to journey across continents and through the Realms. This ancient enigma is not merely abstract; it threatens to unveil the terrifying Army of Dust and Bone, associated with the Elder races. Few would dare to embark on such a perilous journey, yet Kellanved is undeterred. This chapter promises a blend of adventure and magic, as it explores the darker aspects of power and the unknown in a world on the brink of transformation.
