Steven Erikson: The Bell of the Dogs I-II
A thrilling, harrowing novel of war, intrigue, and dark, uncontrollable magic, The Bell of the Dogs is a new chapter in Erikson's monumental series—epic fantasy at its most imaginative and thrilling storytelling. It is said that Kukulja waits at the end of every conspiracy, every plan, every great ambition. But this time is different, this time the Lord of Death is at the very beginning... Darujistan is heating up and boiling with omens, rumors and whispers. Strangers have arrived, an executioner roams the streets, and assassins have targeted the owners of K'rul's inn. However, these events will be negligible compared to what is coming - as the barking of dogs can be heard in the distance. In distant Black Coral, the ruling Tiste Andians seem oblivious to the threat posed by the cult of the Redeemer - an honorable, once mortal man who is powerless before the monstrous vision of his followers. The pupa is at the beginning of a conspiracy that will shake the universe, but in the end someone else intervenes: Anomander Rake, Son of Darkness, arrives to correct an ancient and terrible mistake...
