Toll the Hounds by Steven Erikson

In the city of Darujhistan, shadows lengthen and old debts demand payment. While Anomander Rake broods over Moon’s Spawn and the Tiste Andii endure their immortal weariness, mortals weave their fates amid the rising darkness. Across the world, heroes and outcasts march toward a destiny written in blood — where vengeance, love, and betrayal converge under the tolling of the hounds. As gods and mortals alike are drawn into the storm, the boundaries between light and shadow begin to blur, leading to revelations that will shake the Malazan world to its core. Toll the Hounds is a sweeping, tragic, and beautifully written epic that explores loyalty, loss, and the cost of redemption within Erikson’s monumental Malazan Book of the Fallen series.
