What They're Saying

Critics Review

Forge of Darkness is brilliant and far exceeds any and all expectations that readers of ‘The Malazan Book of the Fallen’ could possibly harbour…I think we all wondered how Erikson could possibly follow up arguably the best fantasy series of all time. Forge of Darkness will dispel any and all doubters (if any do indeed still exist out there) that Steven Erikson is the best writer on the planet. * SFSITE *
Forge of Darkness is, quite frankly, remarkable…Erikson should be raised up as a standadrd bearer, representing the best of the best of those books we would love to be more loved - those that are intellctually nutritious as well as artistically delicious. * TOR.COM *

About The Author

Steven Erikson

Archaeologist and anthropologist Steven Erikson is the bestselling author of the genre-defining The Malazan Book of the Fallen, a multi-volume fantasy that’s been hailed ‘a masterwork of the imagination’ and one of the top ten fantasy series of all time. The first novel in the sequence, Gardens of the Moon, was shortlisted for a World Fantasy Award. He has written several novellas set in the same world. Forge of Darkness was the first Kharkanas novel, taking readers back to the origins of what would become the Malazan Empire; Fall of Light continued this momentous tale.

A lifelong science fiction reader, he’s written a trilogy that affectionately parodies a long-running television series as well as Rejoice, a Knife to the Heart, a story of first contact.

Set in the world of the Malazan Empire, ten years after the events recounted in The Crippled God, The God is Not Willing heralded the start of a thrilling new series - The Tales of Witness - continued in No Life Forsaken. Legacies of Betrayal is the third book in this epic adventure.

Steven Erikson lives in Victoria, Canada.
