Dust of Dreams: Book Nine of The Malazan Book of the Fallen

In war everyone loses.  This brutal truth can be seen in the eyes of every soldier in every world… In Letherii, the exiled Malazan army commanded by Adjunct Tavore begins its march into the eastern Wastelands, to fight for an unknown cause against an enemy it has never seen. And in these same Wastelands, others gather to confront their destinies.  The warlike Barghast, thwarted in their vengeance against the Tiste Edur, seek new enemies beyond the border and Onos Toolan, once immortal T’lan Imass now mortal commander of the White Face clan, faces insurrection.  To the south, the Perish Grey Helms parlay passage through the treacherous kingdom of Bolkando.  Their intention is to rendezvous with the Bonehunters but their vow of allegiance to the Malazans will be sorely tested.
