Dust of dreams - Steven Erikson

The penultimate book in the acclaimed Malazan Book of the Fallen fantasy series

On
the Letherii continent 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.

The fate
awaiting the Bonehunters is one no soldier can prepare for, and one no
mortal soul can withstand - the foe is uncertainty and the only weapon
worth wielding is stubborn courage. In war everyone loses, and this
brutal truth can be found in the eyes of every soldier in every world.

Destinies
are never simple. Truths are neither clear nor sharp. The Tales of the
Malazan Book of the Fallen are drawing to a close in a distant place,
beneath indifferent skies, as the last great army of the Malazan Empire
seeks a final battle in the name of redemption. Final questions remain
to be answered: can one's deeds be heroic when no one is there to see
it? Can that which is unwitnessed forever change the world? The answers
await the Bonehunters, beyond the Wastelands...
