Win a copy of the 10th anniversary edition of Steven Erikson's GARDENS OF THE MOON

Thanks to the kind folks at Transworld, I have five copies of the 10th anniversary edition of the opening chapter in one of the greatest fantasy epics of our time, The Malazan Book of the Fallen, up for grabs! 'Nuff said! For more info about this title: Canada, USA, Europe.

Here's the blurb:

The Malazan Empire is a continent-spanning dominion over which the ruthless Empress Laseen holds sway, her rule enforced by the Claws, the Imperial assassins. Bled dry by incessant warfare and undermined by dissension, signs indicate that the Empire could be crumbling from within.

The Genabackis campaign has been a war of attrition in which the Malazans have spent years fighting the combined forces of local armies aided by the formidable Son of Darkness and Lord of the Tiste Andii, Anomander Rake, the Crimson Guard, the powerful warlord Caladan Brood, and their allies.

Though they emerge victorious from the siege of Pale and impel the flying fortress of Moon’s Spawn to retreat and abandon the conflict, the Malazan triumph is bittersweet. Evidence implies that the Bridgeburners were nearly wiped out by treacherous elements from within the ranks of their own army.

Before any light can be shed on what truly occurred, the Malazan troops are sent marching to subdue Darujhistan, the last of the Free Cities of Genabackis. Soon, as the conflict escalates, powerful forces converge on Darujhistan.

And with gods and Ascendants watching and manipulating events, nothing is as it seems in the City of Blue Fire.

Thus begins The Malazan Book of the Fallen, one of the greatest and most ambitious fantasy epics of our time.

And if you haven't given this series a chance yet, I urge you to do so! Get the books at the library, or buy them used if you are strapped for cash, but put a little Malazan in your life!
