Description
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.
Ian Esslemont thrills again with another gripping entry into the New York Times bestselling Malazan World in Blood and Bone.

This book blew me away! This was the biggest mind-fuck I have read in a long time! Nothing is as is seems. Things change throughout the entire book. I was lost but intrigued throughout this whole book.
The complexity of this story is from one with some serious talent for writing. To be able to string this story along to give you all of the twists and turns all of the way until the very end is pure inventiveness. I was locked into the weaves in this spell-binding story from start to finish.
No one is who they seem. Nothing is as it seems. Things go deeper that I could imagine. The plot moves around and around. I was on the edge of my seat and contemplating what was really going on all of the way through. I really was clueless, even more so than I thought, once I got to the end. I was shocked and full of awe.
I really don’t want to get into the plot at all. This is one of those books that you really can’t begin to explain without giving things away. Everything about this story is shocking. Everything about this story is an untold truth. I can tell you if you like thrillers, this is definitely a story for you. There are two more books in this series. The third one is due out in November.
