Toll the hounds

Book Eight of The Malazan Book of the Fallen
Book • 2008
Toll the Hounds explores the city of Darujhistan, where surviving Bridgeburners face assassins, while in Black Coral the cult of the Redeemer threatens the Tiste Andii.

Interwoven narratives delve into the realm of Dragnipur, where Chaos advances on the Gate of Kurald Galain, and epic events reshape the universe's metaphysics.

Through characters grappling with fading ambitions, sorrow, and compassion, Erikson examines grief's solitude, the burdens of love, and metaphysical upheavals involving gods, dragons, and hounds.
