Sigue la historia de un amplio abanico de personajes inmersos en los acontecimientos de un mundo en el cual tenemos al Imperio de Malaz en su intento por dominar las regiones que todavía no están anexadas a él. Viviremos varios acontecimientos en diferentes continentes y ciudades, donde personajes como asesinos, magos, criaturas mágicas y dioses utilizarán todas sus habilidades para cumplir sus objetivos sin importar los medios. Cada una de las primeras cinco novelas de la decalogía tienen una trama autoconclusiva, por lo que se pueden leer de forma independiente, aunque hay un arco mucho mayor que abarca la saga completa, saga que a menudo se ha comparado por temática y su tono oscuro con las obras de Glen Cook como La Companía Negra o con Cancion de hielo y fuego, de George R. R. Martin, por extension y temática.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

In Darujhistan, the city of blue fire, it is said that love and death shall arrive dancing. It is summer and the heat is oppressive, but for the small round man in the faded red waistcoat, discomfiture is not just because of the sun. Not everything is well. Assassins skulk in alleyways.
