Synopsis "Forge of Darkness: Epic Fantasy: Kharkanas Trilogy 1 "

t's a conflicted time in Kurald Galain, the realm of Darkness, where Mother Dark reigns. But this ancient land was once home to many a power… and even death is not quite eternal. The commoners' great hero, Vatha Urusander, is being promoted by his followers to take Mother Dark's hand in marriage, but her Consort, Lord Draconus, stands in the way of such ambitions. The impending clash sends fissures throughout the realm, and as the rumors of civil war burn through the masses, an ancient power emerges from the long dead seas. Caught in the middle of it all are the First Sons of Darkness, Anomander, Andarist, and Silchas Ruin of the Purake Hold...

Steven Erikson entered the pantheon of great fantasy writers with his debut Gardens of the Moon. Now he returns with the first novel in a trilogy that takes place millennia before the events of the Malazan Book of the Fallen and introduces readers to Kurald Galain, the warren of Darkness. It is the epic story of a realm whose fate plays a crucial role in shaping the world of the Malazan Empire.

Steven Erikson (Toronto, Canada, October 7, 1959), pseudonym of Steve Rune Lundin, is a Canadian novelist with a background in archaeology and anthropology. A graduate of the Iowa Writers' Workshop, he incorporated his academic perspective into the creation of complex worlds and cultures, distinguishing his work within epic fantasy. He is internationally recognized for the Malazan Book of the Fallen decalogy, which began in 1999 with Gardens of the Moon and concluded in 2011 with The Crippled God, having sold over 3 million copies and considered by critics as one of the most influential sagas since Donaldson's Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, marking a milestone in fantasy literature for its ambition, structure, and thematic depth.

Following the success of the main series, Erikson expanded the Malaz universe with the Kharkanas trilogies and The Tales of Witness, as well as several novels and short stories. He also ventured into science fiction with the Willful Child trilogy. His work has been translated into numerous languages and warmly received by both critics and readers, who recognize the polarizing and challenging nature of his books. He has received various awards and nominations in the field of fantasy literature, and his innovative style establishes him as one of the most important voices of the genre in the 21st century. He currently resides in Canada and continues to work on new installments of the Malazan universe.
