Deadhouse Gates is the second novel in Steven Erikson's epic
fantasy series, the Malazan Book of the Fallen. Deadhouse Gates follows on from
the first novel, Gardens of the Moon and takes place simultaneously with events
in the third novel Memories of Ice.
Set in a brilliantly-realized world ravaged by anarchy and
dark, uncontrollable magic, Deadhouse Gates is the thrilling, brutal second
chapter in the Malazan Book of the Fallen. A powerful novel of war, intrigue
and betrayal, it confirms Steven Erikson as a storyteller of breathtaking
skill, imagination and originality.
