Contest – Night of Knives by Ian Cameron Esslemont (5 signed copies!)

Ian Cameron Esslemont’s Night of Knives was republished by Tor last month (having come out a couple years ago originally). It is Esslemont’s initial effort into the setting previously defined via Steven Erikson’s novels (and novellas) via his Malazan Book of the Fallen sequence. BSC has 5 signed copies up for grabs for all of you Malazan fans!

Synopsis:

It gave the Empire its name, but the tiny island and city of Malaz is now a sleepy, seedy back-water port. However this night things are a little different. This night, its residents are bustling about, barring doors and shuttering windows. Because this night a once-in-a-generation Shadow Moon is due and threatens the good citizens of Malaz with demon hounds and other, darker, beings…And it was also prophesied that on this night the Emperor Kellanved, missing for all these years, will return. As factions within the greater Empire battle over the imperial throne, the Shadow Moon summons a far more alien and ancient presence for an all-out assault upon the island. Indeed the cataclysmic events that happen this night will determine the fate of the Malaz and of the entire world beyond.

I interviewed Esslemont last year almost completely about this book (which I loved). Rob also reviewed the book for us here at BSC.
