The Malazan Book of the Fallen has yet to be written. It has been several thousand years since the birth of the Malazan Empire with its endless claims on neighboring states, bloody wars, and cruel rulers and rulers. But even pre-imperial times are not particularly peaceful. The shadow of civil war looms over the kingdom of Kurald Galain.
A woman of ordinary mortals, having gained a magical gift, names herself Mother Dark, a goddess, the embodiment of Darkness. Not everyone is pleased with the new deity, especially her favorite Draconus. The local nobility prefers the upstart-favorite of the renowned warrior Urusander. Next to Kurald Galain, on the border of his Outer Territories, the Sea of Witr splashes; the waters of this sea are capable of dissolving even stone, so imbued they are with poison. But one day, a sorceress named T'risna emerges from its poisonous waters.
She is capable of creating anything from whatever comes to hand, and then bringing her creations to life. T'risna's memory is erased; the only thing she is sure of is that in the near future, her path and that of Mother Dark will inevitably cross... For the first time in Russian!
