Synopsis "toll the hounds (in English)"

A thrilling, harrowing novel of war, intrigue and dark, uncontrollable magic, Toll the Hounds is the new chapter in Erikson's monumental series - epic fantasy at its most imaginative and storytelling at its most exciting. In Darujhistan, the city of blue fire, it is said that love and death shall arrive dancing. It is summer and the heat is oppressive, but for the small round man in the faded red waistcoat, discomfiture is not just because of the sun. All is not well. Dire portents plague his nights and haunt the city streets like fiends of shadow. Assassins skulk in alleyways, but the quarry has turned and the hunters become the hunted. Hidden hands pluck the strings of tyranny like a fell chorus. While the bards sing their tragic tales, somewhere in the distance can be heard the baying of Hounds...And in the distant city of Black Coral, where rules Anomander Rake, Son of Darkness, ancient crimes awaken, intent on revenge. It seems Love and Death are indeed about to arrive...hand in hand, dancing.

Steven Erikson (Toronto, 1959), arqueólogo y antropólogo, es una de las mayores voces de la fantasía épica contemporánea, gracias a su decalogía Malaz: El Libro de los Caídos, una de las obras más ambiciosas y osadas que el género ha dado en las últimas décadas. Originalmente publicada entre 1999 y 2011, Malaz ha sido desde entonces definida como «una obra maestra indiscutible de la imaginación», capaz de labrarse un público fiel en las principales lenguas del mundo. Los jardines de la Luna, primer volumen de la saga, fue finalista del World Fantasy Award del año 2000. NOVA ha publicado todos los títulos de la serie.
