Publisher's Summary
The first three tales of Bauchelain and Korbal Broach, the famed necromancers from the Malazan Book of the Fallen, collected in one volume.
“BLOOD FOLLOWS”
In the port city of Lamentable Moll, a diabolical killer stalks the streets and panic grips the citizens like a fever. As Emancipor Reese's legendary ill luck would have it, his previous employer is the unknown killer's latest victim. But two strangers have come to town and they have posted in Fishmonger's Round a note, reeking of death-warded magic, requesting the services of a manservant...
“THE HEALTHY DEAD”
The city of Quaint's zeal for goodness can be catastrophic, and no one knows this better than Bauchelain and Korbal Broach, two stalwart champions of all things bad. The homicidal necromancers—and their substance-addled manservant, Emancipor Reese—find themselves ensnared in a scheme to bring goodness into utter ruination. Sometimes you must bring down civilization...in the name of civilization.
“THE LEES OF LAUGHTER'S END”
After their blissful sojourn in Lamentable Moll, the sorcerers Bauchelain and Korbal Broach—along with their manservant, Emancipor Reese—set out on the open seas aboard the sturdy ship Suncurl. Alas, there's more baggage in the hold than meets the beady eyes of the crew, and unseemly terrors awaken. For Bauchelain, Korbal Broach and Emancipor Reese, it is just one more night on the high seas, on a journey without end.
What the critics say
“Deftly brought to life through the narrative storytelling talents by Nicolas Boulton, this two-volume collection of original action/adventure fantasy novellas by Steven Erickson is especially and unreservedly recommended.”—Midwest Book Review
"This collection of edgy and violent narratives tied to Erikson's Malazan Empire series pushes the boundaries of epic fantasy with morally ambiguous protagonists, bloody altercations and gritty world-building."—Publishers Weekly
