NIGHT OF KNIVES - IAN C ESSLEMONT TASCHENBUCH

Drawing on events touched on in the prologue of Steven Erikson's landmark fantasy Gardens of
the Moon  Night of Knives is a momentous chapter in the unfolding story of the extraordinarily
imagined world of Malaz. The small island of Malaz and its city gave the great empire its name
but now it is little more than a sleepy  backwater port. Tonight  however  things are
different. Tonight the city is on edge  a hive of hurried  sometimes violent activity  its
citizens bustle about  barring doors  shuttering windows  avoiding any stranger's stare.
Because tonight there is to be a convergence  the once-in-a-generation appearance of a Shadow
Moon - an occasion that threatens the good people of Malaz with demon hounds and other  darker
things... It was also prophesied that this night would witness the return of Emperor Kellanved
and there are those prepared to do anything to prevent this happening. As factions within the
greater Empire draw up battle lines over the imperial throne  the Shadow Moon summons a far
more ancient and potent presence for an all-out assault upon the island. Witnessing these
cataclysmic events are Kiska  a young girl who yearns to flee the constraints of the city  and
Temper  a grizzled  battle-weary veteran who seeks simply to escape his past. Each is to play a
part in a conflict that will not only determine the fate of Malaz City  but also of the world
beyond...
