We’re embarking on a monumental, chapter-by-chapter odyssey through Steven Erikson and Ian C. Esslemont’s legendary world of Malazan—and you’ve got a front-row seat to the chaos. Whether you’re a hardened veteran of the Crimson Guard or a recruit still wondering what a "Warren" is, we’re breaking it all down episodically. Our massive reading list includes: The Malazan Book of the Fallen: The core epic in all its gritty glory. Novels of the Malazan Empire: Expanding the lore across the continents. The Bauchelain and Korbal Broach Novellas: For those who like their necromancy with a side of dark humor. Want to Skip the Queue? Why wait for the next deployment? If you want early access to our episodes, exclusive bonus content, and a host of other perks fit for an Emperor (or at least a very lucky High Mage), consider joining our ranks on Patreon.
