Aus dem Klappentext

Set in the awe-inspiring world of the Malazan Empire, here are three tall tales of the enigmatic and eccentric necromancers Bauchelain and Korbal Broach, and their unfortunate manservant Emancipor Reese...

Following their sojourn in Lamentable Moll, the sorcerors Bauchelain and Korbal Broach - plus their new manservant Emancipor Reese - head for the open seas aboard the sturdy ship Suncurl.

And so the homicidal sorcerors, and their substance-addled manservant, find themselves embroiled in a scheme to bring goodness into total disrepute. For there are times when you must bring down a civilization in the name of civilization...
