Description: Assail by Ian C. Esslemont This follow-up to Ian C. Esslemonts Blood and Bone is sure to delight Malazan fans. Tens of thousands of years of ice is melting, and the land of Assail, long a byword for menace and inaccessibility, is at last yielding its secrets. Tales of gold discovered in the regions north circulate in every waterfront dive and sailors tavern and now countless adventurers and fortune-seekers have set sail in search of riches. All these adventures have to guide them are legends and garbled tales of the dangers that lie in wait -- hostile coasts, fields of ice, impassable barriers and strange, terrifying creatures. But all accounts concur that the people of the north meet all trespassers with the sword. And beyond are rumored to lurk Elder monsters out of historys very beginnings. Into this turmoil ventures the mercenary company, the Crimson Guard. Not drawn by contract, but by the promise of answers: answers to mysteries that Shimmer, second in command, wonders should even be sought. Arriving also, part of an uneasy alliance of Malazan fortune-hunters and Letherii soldiery, comes the bard Fisher kel Tath. And with him is a Tiste Andii who was found washed ashore and who cannot remember his past life, yet who commands far more power than he really should. Also venturing north is said to be a mighty champion, a man who once fought for the Malazans, the bearer of a sword that slays gods: Whiteblade. And lastly, far to the south, a woman guards the shore awaiting both her allies and her enemies. Silverfox, newly incarnated Summoner of the undying army of the Tlan Imass, will do anything to stop the renewal of an ages-old crusade that could lay waste to the entire continent and beyond. Casting light on mysteries spanning the Malazan Empire, and offering a glimpse of the storied and epic history that shaped it, "Assail" is the final chapter in the epic story of the Empire of Malaz.

Review "Esslemont nails the feel and flavor of Eriksons books and brings the historical characters to life with a dexterity that will win over even the most skeptical fans." --Publishers Weekly "Whether its Erikson or Esslemont at the controls, its in safe hands." --SFX "Esslemont handily outdoes series cocreater Steven Erikson, evoking the gore and grit of the battlefield while cannily expanding the labyrinthine Malazan world." --Publishers Weekly, starred review, on Return of the Crimson Guard Review Quote Whether its Erikson or Esslemont at the controls, its in safe hands.
