Midnight Tides

The fifth awesome tale in Erikson's epic Malazan Book of the Fallen fantasy sequence After decades of warfare, the tribes of the Tiste Edur have at last united under the rule of the Warlock King. But peace has been exacted at a terrible price - a pact made with a hidden power whose motives are at best suspect, at worst deadly. To the south, the expansionist kingdom of Lether has devoured all of its less-civilised neighbours with rapacious hunger. All save one - the Tiste Edur. But Lether is approaching a long-prophesied renaissance - from kingdom and lost colony to Empire reborn - and has fixed its gaze on the rich lands of the Tiste Edur. It seems inevitable that the tribes will surrender, either to the suffocating weight of gold, or to slaughter at the edge of a sword. Or so Destiny has decreed. A pivotal treaty between the two sides nears - but unknown ancient forces are awakening. For the impending struggle between these two peoples is but a pale reflection of an altogether more profound, primal battle - a confrontation with the still-raw wound of betrayal and the craving for vengeance at its heart. War and confrontation, magic and myth collide in this, the stunning fifth chapter in Steven Erikson's magnificent 'Malazan Book of the Fallen' sequence, hailed as an epic of the imagination and a fantasy classic in the making.

A poetic novel concerning a young woman's journey of self-discovery, Midnight Tides of Amsterdam evokes a European ambiance of light and longing, and of a passion which breaks the smooth surface of a life with disturbing waves.

A collection of poetry both rich and sparse, Lost in the Midnight Tides explores the truths of human attraction, and the ways that love can lift us up or sink us to the deepest depths. Highlighted with beautiful line drawings that echo the spare lines of its poetry, Anniebella’s writing follows the trajectory of a woman’s journey through love: reaching her lowest point after a breakup, learning to move on, forgive, and heal, and finding an unexpected dawn of new love and happiness. It travels from loss to love, from pain to harmony, and from the midnight tides, to finding the lighthouse through the storm.

The five tribes of the Tiste Edur have finally been united under the implacable rule of the Warlock King of Hiroth, but their peace has made at the cost of a pact made with a hidden power, and ancient forces are awakening that may destroy them all.

After decades of internecine warfare, the tribes of the Tiste Edur have at last united under the Warlock King of the Hiroth. There is peace--but it has been exacted at a terrible price: a pact made with a hidden power whose motives are at best suspect, at worst, deadly. To the south, the expansionist kingdom of Lether, eager to fulfill its long-prophesized renaissance as an Empire reborn, has enslved all its less-civilized neighbors with rapacious hunger. All, that is, save one--the Tiste Edur. And it must be only a matter of time before they too fall--either beneath the suffocating weight of gold, or by slaughter at the edge of a sword. Or so destiny has decreed. Yet as the two sides gather for a pivotal treaty neither truly wants, ancient forces are awakening. For the impending struggle between these two peoples is but a pale reflection of a far more profound, primal battle--a confrontation with the still-raw wound of an old betrayal and the craving for revenge at its seething heart.
