The plan, however, soon goes awry as Kellanved develops a strange and dangerous fascination for a mysterious ancient structure found on the island...The chaos in the region extends to the metaphysical planes also as a young priest of Drek starts to question the rot at the heart of the worship of the god of decay. And back in Li Heng, Dassem, now the proclaimed Sword of Hood, finds himself being blamed for a plague which leads him to a crisis of faith - and searching for answers.During all this, war with the neighbouring island of Nap threatens, recruited allies wonder at Kellanveds sanity, and powerful entities take more of an interest in the little mage from Dal Hon. Dancer faces a hard choice- should he give up on his partnership? Especially when the fellows obsession with shadows and ancient artefacts brings the both of them alarmingly close to death and destruction.After all, who in his right mind would actually wish to enter an Elder mystery known to everyone as the Deadhouse? Notes This second book in Esslemonts epic fantasy sequence Path To Ascendancy exposes the early history of what would become the Malazan Empire. A rich and multi-layered choice for those waiting for the next George R.R. Martin.
