About this ebook
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.

My personal favorite of the main 10. It's slow as molasses, but it's so weighted with emotion and philosophy that I didn't want it to end after its 1200 pages. Plus, Erikson proves that he can be a very effective horror author when he wants to be.

Started the series with Reaper's Gale then started from the beginning. The most original and addictive epic storyline EVER! I love the maps and character lists before each book, and the "quotes" at the beginning of each book and chapter add so much depth... I cannot believe someone has that much imagination!

Epic. The story was one of my favs of the series, but I wasn't a fan of the 'moment in time' writing that was in various places.
