Midnight Tides

Midnight Tides is a fantasy novel by Canadian author Steven Erikson, the fifth volume in his epic fantasy series, the Malazan Book of the Fallen.
Book • 2004
Midnight Tides is a self-contained tragedy set on a new continent, detailing the convergence of the tribal Tiste Edur and the greedy, imperialistic Letherii society.

It follows the Beddict brothers and Sengar family amid prophecies, betrayals, resurrections by the Crippled God, and wars fueled by greed and power.

Key events include Rhulad's cursed sword-induced madness, the fall of Lether's monarchy, and revelations of gods like Mael disguised as the manservant Bugg.
