He will open the last of a series of sealed vaults - the one that no other dared touch - and, in so doing, set free something so terrifying that the knowledge of its internment may have been systematically wiped from all history. Fortune hunters are also at work far to the south.
Epic and eagerly awaited new fantasy set in the world of Malaz, following on from "Night Of Knives, Return Of The Crimson Guard" and "Stonewielder".
