  House of Chains 
   
  A Tale of the Malazan Book of the Fallen 
   
  In Northern Genabackis, a raiding party of savage tribal warriors descends from the mountains into the southern flatlands. Their intention is to wreak havoc amongst the despised lowlanders, but for the one named Karsa Orlong, it marks the beginning of what will prove to be an extraordinary destiny. 
   
  Some years later, it is the aftermath of the Chain of Dogs. Tavore, the Adjunct to the Empress, has arrived in the last remaining Malazan stronghold of Seven Cities. New to command, she must hone twelve thousand soldiers, mostly raw recruits but for a handful of veterans of Coltaine's legendary march, into a force capable of challenging the massed hordes of Sha'ik's Whirlwind, who lie in wait in the heart of the Holy Desert. 
   
  But waiting is never easy. The seer's warlords are locked into a power struggle that threatens the very soul of the rebellion, while Sha'ik herself suffers, haunted by the knowledge of her nemesis: her own sister, Tavore. 
   
  And so begins this awesome chapter in Steven Erikson's acclaimed Malazan Book of the Fallen…. 
   
  "This masterwork of imagination may be the high watermark of epic fantasy. This marathon of ambition has a depth and breadth and sense of vast reaches of inimical time unlike anything else available today. The Black Company, Zelazny's Amber, Vance's Dying Earth, and other mighty drumbeats are but foreshadowings of this dark dragon's hoard." -Glen Cook 
   
  "This novel and all others in the Malazan Book of the Fallen series follow my own pronunciations of 'Malazan' words and names.  My thanks to Michael and Jane and everyone at Brilliance Audio." -Steven Erikson, Victoria, B.C. Canada, January, 2014

  Hi, I'm Alexis Delaney. I'm your average seventeen-year-old girl. Except I can see the dead. And talk to the dead and help them move on. So . . . okay, I'm not your average seventeen-year-old girl. The Veil is still shut. Which means the dead can't move on, not on their own. Through my Link to the Veil, I've been able to start helping souls to cross. The Veil is changing, healing. Like I am.

  This is Alterra, where you can be the master of your own castle . . . or a field hand on a farm. And this is Jack, who wants to make his way to a different continent, hidden in the virtual mist. And this is an ancient quest line, buried under new versions of the game. 
  Jack's goal: create his own guild. Buy a ship. And set off on the Great Journey. The journey of his life. The dangerous Gravediggers are not the only ones opposing him. Necromancers from sinister Nightmare, elite alpha-citizens, and relic hunters are only a small fraction of the enemies that the First Player will have to face. 
  In the perilous Wasteland, the drifter Jack finds an abandoned truck, where an old-world game console is hidden. This moment marks the beginning of Jack's path to the lost continent, hidden in the virtual depths of the colossal Alterra. He still isn't aware of the enemies standing in his way. Not only are the guild of Gravediggers and the sinister necromancers of Nightmare against him, but also the secret masters of the game world themselves. The discoveries of ancient quest lines, long buried under new versions of the game, give Jack access to the Dark Service. This is a special branch of character development, which is no longer available in the modern version of the game.

  The impossible has happened. I became the thing that I've hated my entire life. 
  Thanks to Bryce's gift, I'm now an Idol. But I no longer want to see them all destroyed. Thanks to Bryce, Rufio, Morpheus, and Phoenix, the four powerful Idols I've fallen in love with, I realize I can't blame an entire race for the evil doings of a minority. 
  Being an Idol doesn't make my existence easier, though. On the contrary, thanks to the rare gift I've developed, I'm now wanted dead or alive. Some want to use me as a weapon; others want me gone forever. 
  We're living in dangerous times, and the only Idols I can trust are my boyfriends. But we need allies because war is coming and we can't fight in it alone.
