Rent Memories of Ice (Malazan Book of the Fallen Series)

Synopsis

The decimated Bridgeburners along with the remainder of the Malazan 2nd Army has been outlawed by the Empire. Now calling themselves Onearm's Host, they have allied with longtime rivals Caladan Brood and Anomander Rake's armies to answer the threat from the south. The Pannion Domin, a religious fanatic army of cannibals spreading like wildfire through the land and consuming all, halted only by the city of Capustan and its Grey Sword protectors. The joined armies of Brood and Onearm rush to the defense of Capustan in hopes of saving the city and recruiting the Grey Swords to aid in the destruction of the Pannion Domin. However, something foul lurks in the center of the dominion. Old powers. Old enemies. The warrens have been joined, and a new player enters the game - the Crippled God, bent on vengeance and destruction. In the end, the Bridgeburners are all but destroyed. Only 3,000 of the host survive. Afterwards, it is revealed that the outlawing of the army was a feint to gain allies, Lord Anomander Rake claims Black Coral and Brood returns to the north. The Malazan army leaves Genabackis and travels to aid the 14th army in stopping the Seven Cities rebellion. The remaining half a dozen Bridgeburners disappear from the Empire, with the exception of Quick Ben, who has been made a High Mage, and joins the 2nd army on route to Seven Cities.
