The God Is Not Willing: The First Tale of Witness: A Novel of the Malazan World (Tales of Witness (Malazan Universe) Book 1)

Steven Erikson's The God Is Not Willing begins the Witness sequel trilogy set in the Malazan world. Years after three warriors brought violence to Silver Lake, the northern tribes have ceased traveling south. The town has recovered, but the aftermath lingers. When reports of growing unrest among the northern tribes reach the Malazan army, they march to confront the new god's people, uncertain what they will encounter. Meanwhile, a new warleader has emerged among the Teblor, scarred by the actions of Karsa Orlong. He seeks to confront his god, even if it means fighting through the Malazan Empire. Further north, a new threat has appeared, and time is running short for the Teblor. A long-feared migration is beginning—this time not three warriors, but tens of thousands preparing to move south. Standing in their path is a single company of Malazan marines.
