Dům mrtvých - Malazská Kniha padlých 2 – Erikson Steven (2023)

In the holy desert of Raraku, the seer shai'k gathers an army of followers of the Book of Apocalypse. She intends to unleash the Tempest and lead a rebellion that will plunge the Malazan Empire into one of the bloodiest conflicts it has ever known. A terrible whirlwind of religious fanaticism and bloodthirstiness will soon sweep away entire cities and give rise to legends. The Bridge Burners are destroyed, and their remnants are outlawed. The piper and assassin Kalam intend to strike back with interest and stubbornly fight their way to a mythical goal: the mysterious House of the Dead. But in the midst of a murderous war, nothing goes according to plan – especially when the unpredictable Lord of Shadows pulls the strings from afar. Meanwhile, Coltain, the charismatic commander of the Malazan Seventh Army, leads his soldiers into a final battle to save the lives of thirty thousand refugees. His Dog Chain struggles against the desert, overwhelming enemy forces, and intrigues within their own ranks. How far can one go in the pursuit of the impossible? At the end of a journey filled with blood and tears lies the port city of Aren, but does it promise salvation or doom? The holy desert slowly reveals its secrets. There are many paths leading to the House of the Dead, but only one leads to it. Those who embark on it will never be the same again.
