[edit] Plot summary
Reaper's Gale picks up the story after the events of Midnight Tides and also directly resolves plot elements from The Bonehunters. The book returns to the continent of Lether, where the Tiste Edur have completed their conquest of the Kingdom of Lether and the unkillable Rhulad Sengar has been installed as Emperor of both the Letherii and the Tiste Edur. It is expected to shed further light on many elements in the series, such as the banishment of Trull Sengar, Rhulad's desire to find a warrior worthy of facing him in battle, the secretive Tiste Andii of Bluerose and the Crimson Guard's presence on the Letherii continent. The book is also expected to address the arrival of many key characters on the Letherii continent from the end of The Bonehunters, including Karsa Orlong, Icarium and possibly the Malazan 14th Army.
