| class="hidden" |[[Image:GM cover US tor 2009.jpg|left|150px|link=Gardens of the Moon]]''[[Gardens of the Moon]]'' is the first novel in the ''[[Malazan Book of the Fallen]]'' epic fantasy series. It was written by [[Steven Erikson]] in 1992–1993 and first released on April 1, 1999 in Great Britain and Canada. It was later released in the United States on December 28, 2004, and has been re-released in multiple editions and in many countries.
 
 
Like all of Erikson's Malazan books it has multiple layered storylines that usually weave together. At the lower level is an eclectic group of [[Darujhistan]]ies who are just trying to solve their own problems. Then there is the expansionist [[Malazan Empire]] whose [[Malazan Army|armies]] and their allies the [[Moranth]] are trying to conquer the last remaining [[Free Cities]] of [[Genabackis]]; [[Pale]] and [[Darujhistan]]. Pale falls quickly to a massive sorcerous enfilade, but at the cost of many of Empire's best. The Malazans then turn to Darujhistan which proves much harder to take. At a higher level there is a power-struggle in the top ranks of the Empire as the [[Laseen|Empress]] tries to consolidate her reign. Above that still; the [[Gods]] and [[Ascendants]] with their own machinations.
 
 
The book features a large cast of characters. Major focus characters on the Imperial 'side' are: [[Ganoes Paran]], a young nobleman turned army officer; [[Whiskeyjack]] and his elite soldiers the [[Bridgeburners]]; [[Tattersail]], a military sorceress and divinator and [[Adjunct Lorn]], the Empress's personal agent. Opposite them are those of Darujhistan: [[Kruppe]], [[Crokus]] and the rest of the [[Phoenix Inn Regulars]] and [[Baruk]], the High Alchemist with the other members of the [[T'orrud Cabal]]. Meanwhile [[Anomander Rake]] in his floating mountain fortress: [[Moon's Spawn]]; [[Shadowthrone]], the possibly insane ruler of [[Warren]] of [[Shadow]] and [[Oponn]], the Twin Jesters of Chance are the major featuring Ascendants who each have their own motives.
