Complete with the lightly rubbed and creased dustwrapper that is without fading, loss or tears. Not price-clipped (£14.99 to the lower front flap).

Esslemont's first book in the Malazan Book of the Fallen, a world co-created with his friend and colleague Steven Erikson (who provides an introduction here). First published in 2005 in a limited edition of 800 copies by PS Publishing, this is the first trade edition.
