Steven Erikson
Steven Erikson's writing is an intricate tapestry of history, mythology, and human experience, woven into the fabric of his expansive fantasy worlds. Born in Canada and trained as an archaeologist and anthropologist, his background in these fields lends a rich texture to his novels. His stories are not just escapist adventures—they are philosophical explorations into the nature of conflict, morality, and the intricate societies that shape human lives.
Erikson’s Malazan Book of the Fallen series stands as a towering achievement in epic fantasy. Its labyrinthine plots, vast world-building, and morally complex characters have garnered a loyal following, with each novel revealing new layers of depth. The series kicks off with Gardens of the Moon, a work that redefined the scope of fantasy with its mature themes and unflinching exploration of power, war, and the price of immortality. Recognized with critical acclaim and shortlisted for the World Fantasy Award, this series catapulted Erikson into the pantheon of modern fantasy giants.
The Kharkanas Trilogy
Set against the vast and shadowed backdrop of a world that predates the Malazan Empire, The Kharkanas Trilogy invites readers into an epic tale of ancient gods, mortal aspirations, and the turmoil of divided realms. Millennia before the rise of the Malazan Book of the Fallen, the fate of an entire race is shaped within the warren of Darkness—Kurald Galain—where gods, mortals, and magic itself are in constant flux.
The Kharkanas Trilogy consists of two books and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
