[edit] Plot summary
Memories of Ice takes place simultaneously with the events of Deadhouse Gates, beginning about four months after the events of Gardens of the Moon. The story returns to the continent of Genabackis. The Malazan Empire has taken the Free City of Pale but failed to conquer Darujhistan. The Malazan 2nd Army under High First Dujek Onearm has turned renegade and is now known as 'Onearm's Host'. Fearing the advance of a powerful new empire in the south-east of Genabackis, the Pannion Domin, Dujek and his second-in-command, Whiskeyjack, hope to forge an alliance with their former enemies, namely Anomander Rake and the Tiste Andii of Moon's Spawn, and the warlord Caladan Brood. Meanwhile, the former Claw agent Toc the Younger and the T'lan Imass Tool find themselves lost in the southern wilds of Genabackis and must undertake a daring journey through Pannion territory, whilst the famed Grey Swords of Elingarth must defend the city of Capustan against a vast, overwhelming Pannion army.
