Meanwhile, the Edur camp is shaken by a few uncomfortable truths about their own history, bargains are struck with powerful allies, and somewhere along the way, a story about eels may be hiding a warning. Tune in for all the breakdown, lore, and intrigue as the march on Letheras rolls on! And since this is our first time through, we’ll be sharing our honest reactions every step of the way. No spoilers, please! Whatever you know, Hood take it to the grave. Subscribe to D&J’s Epic Quest and join us every week as we journey through the Malazan world together!

We’ll also get a crucial status update on the participants of the Azath, while Brys is summoned to high-stakes battle arrangements with King Diskanar. Later on—boy howdy—do we overhear a classic tongue-lashing from Tehol! He makes a little too much sense, but a mix of poor choices and selfish attitudes ultimately leaves three women caught up in deep remorse. Lastly, we venture into the mind-bending depths of an inside-out pyramid, where the mysterious dweller within forces us to face some hard truths about ourselves, leaving us completely scratching our heads.

    Malazan's Midnight Tides - Chapter 13

    Join us in our Epic Quest as we watch the Emperor painstakingly consummate his illegitimate marriage. Thankfully, it doesn't take long. We catch up with Hull and the Acquitor, where we overhear a rousing conversation about the waking of a Hold that has been inactive for centuries. Later, we join up with the delegation in the Emperor's chambers, where a tense discussion plays out about the illegal seal harvest. The delegation is left completely speechless; as for the Emperor and the Edur, they are officially done defining actions with words. After everything we've seen, alignment seems obvious—but for one, and for ourselves, we find that we are indeed outliers. What will that cost us?

    Malazan's Midnight Tides - Chapter 12

    Join us in our Epic Quest as we shadow a few members in the chaotic city of Letheras. One of us masters the art of doing absolutely nothing while getting some hard-earned rest, while the other gets stuck running the ultimate gauntlet of errands. We'll check in with the Ceda, who decides our plate isn't quite full enough and sends us on an epic quest of his own. What is ultimately unveiled to us leaves us entirely overwhelmed, realizing that in the grand, terrifying scheme of the universe, all we can do is help out in the smallest, most microscopic way we can.
