Description
Returning readers to the turbulent early history of the Malazan Empire, Deadhouse Landing is the second chapter in Ian C. Esslemont's epic fantasy sequence. Kellanved and Dancer find themselves on a small island, Malaz, where Kellanved plans to take control. However, their plan soon goes awry as Kellanved becomes fascinated with a mysterious ancient structure.
The chaos in the region extends to the metaphysical planes as a young priest of D'rek begins to question the rot at the heart of the worship of the god of decay. Meanwhile, Dassem, the proclaimed Sword of Hood, searches for answers after being blamed for a plague. War with a neighbouring island threatens, and powerful entities take an interest in Kellanved. Dancer faces a hard choice: should he give up on his partnership?
As Kellanved's obsession with shadows and ancient artefacts brings him alarmingly close to death and destruction, Dancer must navigate the dangers of the 'Deadhouse' and the consequences of his own partnership. With the fate of the island and the empire hanging in the balance, Deadhouse Landing is a thrilling and action-packed addition to the series.
