Midnight Tides: Book Five of The Malazan Book of the Fallen

After generations of feuding, the tribes of the Tiste Edur have finally united under the Warlock King of the Hiroth, though the peace rests on a bargain with a hidden power whose motives no one should trust. To the south, the kingdom of Lether, hungry to fulfil a prophecy of empire reborn, has enslaved every neighbour but the Edur. Now both peoples gather for a treaty neither truly wants.

The fifth novel in Steven Erikson's bestselling Malazan Book of the Fallen shifts to a new continent and a fresh cast, and beneath its looming clash of gold and sword lies something older: the unhealed wound of an ancient betrayal and the hunger for revenge it left behind. For readers who like their epic fantasy vast, morally tangled and full of long memories.
