-The Tales of the [[Malazan Book of the Fallen]] is an epic fantasy series written by Canadian author [[Steven Erikson]]. The series is comprised of ten books with truly epic scope, and features a massive cast of characters. Each book weaves a different chapter of the ongoing saga of the Malazan Empire and its wars. The first eight books tell a story which is primarily self contained, with the smaller plots resolved within the novel. The last two are strongly connected, with the ninth being the only novel that ends on a cliff-hanger. Despite these differences, the primary story arc develops throughout all of the novels. The characters, events, and locations bind together story, and connect the various novels together.

-The Malazan world was created by Steven Erikson and [[Ian Cameron Esslemont]] in 1982. Esslemont, who does not co-author Erikson's books, has written three books and plans another two books which take place in the same world, with a different cast of characters.<br>
