**Marking the return of many characters from Gardens of the Moon and
introducing a host of remarkable new players, Memories of Ice is both
a momentous new chapter in Steven Erikson's magnificent epic fantasy and
a triumph of storytelling.

The ravaged continent of Genabackis has given birth to a terrifying new
empire: the Pannion Domin. Like a tide of corrupted blood, it seethes
across the land, devouring all. In its path stands an uneasy alliance:
Onearm's army and Whiskeyjack's Bridgeburners alongside their enemies of
old--the forces of the Warlord Caladan Brood, Anomander Rake and his
Tiste Andii mages, and the Rhivi people of the plains.
But ancient undead clans are also gathering; the T'lan Imass have risen.
For it would seem something altogether darker and more malign threatens
this world. Rumors abound that the Crippled God is now unchained and
intent on a terrible revenge.
