About this series
A curated reading-order variant of Steven Erikson's Malazan universe, sequencing the novels and novellas — by both Erikson and Ian C. Esslemont — by in-world chronology rather than publication order. It runs from the deep prequel history of the Kharkanas Trilogy through the Path to Ascendancy, the interleaved Tales of Bauchelain and Korbal Broach novellas, the ten-volume Malazan Book of the Fallen, Esslemont's Novels of the Malazan Empire, and on into the Tales of Witness. The main series (The Malazan Book of the Fallen) remains the recommended order for a first read; this ordering is intended for a reread or for readers who prefer following events as they occur in-world.
