The conclusion to Ian C. Esslemont's epic fantasy Path to Ascendancy trilogy--a prequel story set in the New York Times bestselling Malazan Empire series--co-created by Steven Erikson.
The incessant war between the bickering city states of Quon Tali rages. So engrossed are the warring lords and princes in their own petty feuds that few notice that an upstart mage from Dal Hon has gained control of the southern seas.
Kellanved could not care less about any of this petty politicking or strategy or war. Something other and altogether more mysterious has caught his attention and he - together with a reluctant and his decidedly skeptical friend Dancer - traverse continents and journey through the Realms.

Surely no one in their right mind would be so foolish as to embark on a journey from which none have returned? Well, no one except Kellanved.
Path to Ascendancy trilogy done. I have enjoyed all 3 books way more then i thought.
Main and only weakness to all 3 books is, they are way too short. I felt like author decided "I need to write everyting in 300 pages no matter what"
So some parts felt way too rushed and done before they even start.
If each book had 100-150 more pages trilogy would be perfect.
All in all solid read and i recommed it to every Malazan fan.
