Gardens Of The Moon

An astounding debut … has the potential to become a defining work. * SF SITE *Erikson is an extraordinary writer … treat yourself to Gardens of the Moon. – STEPHEN R. DONALDSONComplex, challenging … Erikson’s strengths are his grown-up characters and his ability to create a world every bit as intricate and messy as our own. * J.V. JONES *There’s nothing safe about fantasy like this: intriguing, complex, thought provoking, exceedingly well-written, and, for the intelligent reader, exhilaratingly satisfying. – Paula Guran * CINEMAFANTASTIQUE *

Archaeologist and anthropologist Steven Erikson is the bestselling author of the genre-defining The Malazan Book of the Fallen, a multi-volume fantasy that’s been hailed ‘a masterwork of the imagination’ and one of the top ten fantasy series of all time. The first novel in the sequence, Gardens of the Moon, was shortlisted for a World Fantasy Award. He has written several novellas set in the same world. Forge of Darkness was the first Kharkanas novel, taking readers back to the origins of what would become the Malazan Empire; Fall of Light continued this momentous tale.

A lifelong science fiction reader, he’s written a trilogy that affectionately parodies a long-running television series as well as Rejoice!, a story of first contact. Set in the world of the Malazan Empire, ten years after the events recounted in The Crippled God, The God is Not Willing heralded the start of a thrilling new series - The Tales of Witness. No Life Forsaken is the second Tale in this epic adventure.

Steven Erikson lives in Victoria, Canada.
