Even fewer authors are able to meet the soaring levels of expectation that meet such a long-awaited return. Similarly, there have been very few authors capable of fostering the level of excitement for a new book that Steven Erikson was capable of since he confirmed he would return to the world of the Malazan Book of the Fallen. Very few authors in the two decades I have been reading fantasy have managed to captivate to the degree that Erikson has managed. It seems the past is about to revisit Silver Lake, and that is never a good thing.When Steven Erikson’s ‘The God is Not Willing’ was announced, and we edged closer to a return to the Erikson-written Malazan world, I was ecstatic.
And in their way, a single legion of Malazan marines. This time thousands are poised to flood the lands of the south. And this time it won't be three simple warriors. The long feared invasion is about to begin. Higher in the mountains, a new threat has emerged, and now the Teblor are running out of time. Scarred by the deeds of Karsa Orlong, he intends to confront his god, even if he has to cut a bloody path through the Malazan Empire to do it. Meanwhile, in the high mountains, where dwell the tribes of the Teblor, a new warleader has risen. The marines aren't quite sure what they're going to be facing but, while the Malazan military has evolved and these are not the marines of old, one thing hasn't changed: they'll handle whatever comes at them.

In truth, many new cults and religions have emerged across the Malazan world, including those who worship Coltaine, the Black-Winged God, and - popular among the Empire's soldiery - followers of the cult of Iskar Jarak, Guardian of the Dead.Ī legion of Malazan marines is on the march towards Silver Lake. One of those three, Karsa Orlong, is now deemed to be a god, albeit an indifferent one. While the town has recovered, the legacy of that past horror remains, even if the Teblor tribes of the north no longer venture into the southlands. Many years have passed since three Teblor warriors brought carnage and chaos to the small lakeside settlement of Silver Lake.
