About the Author
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Archaeologist and anthropologist Steven Erikson’s debut fantasy, Gardens of the Moon, was shortlisted for the World Fantasy Award and introduced readers to his bestselling ten-book sequence ‘The Malazan Book of the Fallen’, which has been hailed as one of the finest works of fantasy of our time. Steve lived in the UK for a number of years – most recently in Cornwall – before returning to Canada in the summer of 2012. To find out more, visit www.malazanempire.com and www.stevenerikson.com.
