Thrice upon a time, three worlds are in peril as champions seek a shared destiny. Over two decades, Galen Arvad's band of outlaw Mystics has evolved into a nation of secret clans, facing persecution from the Pir theocracy and enslaving dragons. In another realm, faery Dwynwyn saved her people by raising an army of the dead, but now their restless spirits threaten the faery kingdoms. Meanwhile, on a third world, King Mimic's tyrannical rule is challenged by a warrior maiden whose ambition rivals his own. Through the magic of dreams connecting their worlds, a new wind beckons them toward unknown lands, offering salvation, sanctuary, and power. For Caelith, Galen's war-weary son, hope appears as a stranger's vow to guide him to the legendary ancestral home of the Mystics. Dwynwyn seeks peace for her people through a fellowship of Fae on a perilous journey to a land of horror, where their truth might bring solace to both the living and the dead. Lastly, Thux, a wizard-goblin and reluctant Technomancer to King Mimic, faces danger on his path to the Ogre citadel, where power and betrayal lurk. As these heroes embark on their odysseys, they must navigate outer tragedy and inner treachery, for the survival of all three worlds hinges on their success against a cunning evil.

Für Sergeant Elster war stets klar, dass er dem malazanischen Imperium treu ergeben ist, egal wie schlecht er von seiner Herrscherin behandelt wurde. Auf ihren Befehl begibt er sich in die feindliche Stadt Darujistan, um deren Eroberung vorzubereiten. Doch als er und sein Trupp eintreffen, schwebt bereits die finstere Festung Mondbrut wie eine schützende Hand über der Stadt – und der Plan der Imperatrix zur Vernichtung Mondbruts kann sehr leicht auch Elster und seine Leute mit in den Tod reißen.
