Memories of Ice

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 Knife to the Heart, 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 – continued in No Life Forsaken. Legacies of Betrayal is the third book in this epic adventure.Steven Erikson lives in Victoria, Canada. To find out more, look for him on Facebook: Steven Erikson – Author

"Homeric in scope and vision...Read and expect to be overpowered, not only by a story that never fails to thrill and entertain, but by a saga that lives up to its name, both intellectually and in its dramatic, visually rich and lavish storytelling" SF site "Erikson afflicts me with awe...vast in scope, almost frighteningly fecund in imagination, and rich in sympathy, his work does something that only the rarest of books can manage: it alters the reader's perceptions of reality" -- Stephen R. Donaldson "Rare is the writer who so fluidly combines a sense of mythic power and depth of world with fully realized characters and thrilling action, but Steven Erikson manages it spectacularly" -- Michael A.
