In the fourth book in Ian C. Esslemont's 'Path to Ascendancy', a nascent Malazan empire has set its sights on the Falari Peninsula . . . Kellanved and Dancer, dismissive of petty politics and the niceties of diplomacy, and careless even of the value of life itself, are impatient with the slow and methodical consolidation of the continent of Quon Tali by the Malazan forces. Ever volatile and impulsive, they decide to take matters into their own hands. No good will come of their interference, of course - and not least because their machinations will embroil the already hard-pressed Malazan military in an uprising against the ruling Theocracy of Falar - a theocracy which has successfully (and brutally) maintained power over the many islands that make up its domain through the threat of a weapon the local population know as the dread 'Jhistal'.But just what sort of weapon is this Jhistal? And what part does an ambitious young priest called Mallick Rel have to play in the wielding of such a weapon? And in the face of such, can the Malazan military find a way to subvert the status quo and truly take control of this fiercely autonomous and rebellious region?These are bloody, turbulent and treacherous times for all caught up in the forging of the Malazan Empire.
