description: Acclaimed by writers, critics and readers alike, Gardens of the Moon begins what has been hailed a landmark of epic fantasy: Steven Erikson's awesome "The Malazan Book of the Fallen".Bled dry by interminable warfare, infighting and bloody confrontations with Lord Anomander Rake, the Malazan empire simmers with discontent. Its legions yearn for some respite.For Sergeant Whiskeyjack and his Bridgeburners, and Tattersail, surviving sorceress of the Second Legion, the aftermath of the siege of Pale should have been a time to mourn the dead. But Empress Laseen's gaze has fallen upon Darujhistan. For this ancient citadel, last of the Free Cities of Genabackis, still holds out against her.However, the empire is not alone in this great game. Sinister forces are gathering as the gods themselves prepare to play their hand...
