Toll the Hounds is the eighth book of ten in the Malazan Book of the Fallen, following Reaper's Gale. It is the last book in the Genabackis arc and revolves around the fates of the characters in Darujhistan and Black Coral, most of which have been last seen in Memories of Ice.The retired Bridgeburners who now own K'rul's Bar are targeted by the Assassin's Guild and find themselves fighting for their lives once more. Darujhistan's Cabal of Mages, however, prepares for a much more pressing battle: vast powers are bound for the City of Blue Fire and their convergence is threatening to tear everything apart.After a journey across half the known world, a group of six young Tiste Andii exiles make their way towards the city of Black Coral, where the Son of Darkness now resides. Their path is not an easy one, though, as they come across a desolate village in the grasp of the cult of the Dying God and the addictive substance known as saemankelyk.In Black Coral, a brutal conflict is brewing. Outside the city gates a new cult is worshipping the Redeemer — a very young deity devoted to salvation. But the Redeemer's temple is as yet unbuilt and it's worshippers have no means to defend against the Dying God's rival cult creeping up from the south, whose ambitions are as sinister as they are deadly.Inside the city itself eternal Night now reigns and the Tiste Andii keep to themselves and still mourn the loss of their home. They seem oblivious to the threat on their doorstep and even the Son of Darkness has seemingly other things on his mind.To the south a great warrior is swept ashore and he has one goal: to kill Death itself.Followed by Dust of Dreams. | |

Retired Badass | |
Toll the Hounds / int_112daba0 | comment |
Retired Badass: Toll the Hounds reintroduces the reader to the Bridgeburners, who had previously retired to run a bar in Darujhistan at the end of the third book, Memories of Ice. For some reason, someone has contracted the Assassins' Guild to kill them all and Picker & Co. have to spring into action in order to not only save themselves but to also find out who is behind the contract. | |

The Problem with Fighting Death | |
Toll the Hounds / int_140e849 | comment |
The Problem with Fighting Death: The unnamed, undead dragon Kallor meets tells him of a time the Jaghut rallied their armies and set out to defeat Death itself. It claims they won even when they lost. The implication being that they won because they managed to give Death a face in the guise of Hood. | |

Never Split the Party: Clip learned this the hard way in Morsko when trying to play hero. It ends with him completely outclassed and comatose, while the rest of the group now has to take care of him. Not that the lesson sticks, even after having been rescued, he's still playing the loner. | |

Character Name and the Noun Phrase: Spoofed when Tovald Nom breaks into a nobleman's house and roots through his library because he thinks it's just for show. He's right and finds literary pearls such as Tales of Pamby Doughty and the World Inside the Trunk (with illustrations by some dead man). | |

Those Two Guys | |
Toll the Hounds / int_1c79ae8c | comment |
Those Two Guys: Scorch and Leff. Never seen without each other, they hang around in the background of Torvald Nom's story arc and are his subordinates when he becomes captain of Lady Varada's house guard, but otherwise have little significance beside being comic relief. Lazan Door and Madrun Badrun. The former is tall, almost skeletal, and bald, while the other is broad-shouldered, short-legged and shaggy-haired. One wears a whispy cloak, the other is clothed like a court-jester. They are always together, and appear to be Studious Lock's accomplices. They also serve as a sinister contrast to Scorch and Leff's comic relief. | |

Anomander Rake, meanwhile, has not been killing people for a very long while, thus weakening the souls within Dragnipur. Conveniently, Shadowthrone and Cotillion are able to use Traveller's — aka Dassem Ultor's aka Dessembrae's (the Lord of Tragedy) — own plan to take revenge on Hood to railroad him (with some help from Tulas Shorn) towards Darujhistan just at the right time to trick him into killing Anomander Rake. | |

You Shall Not Pass!: A convergence of these, all in the same context: Tulas Shorn stealing the horses of Traveller, Karsa and Samar Dev to delay their approach to Darujhistan, to buy time for Anomander Rake's and Hood's plans to get going. Spinnock Durav intercepts High King Kallor on his way into the city, to give Anomander Rake time to kill Hood and duel Traveller. Anomander Rake refusing to get out of the way to Hood's corpse, so Traveller has to duel him. | |

Kadaspala is a more direct example. He used to be a brilliant painter known in all of Kurald Galain.

To Hell and Back: Or the Abyss.

It crashed in Bastion, and what used to be Bellurdan became the Dying God. | |

Down the Rabbit Hole: Alluded to and subverted. Harllo, while working at the mines, climbs down a seemingly endless chute, at the bottom of which he meets a T'lan Imass and helps him. However, after that, Dev'ad Anan Tol simply walks away, leaving Harllo behind, and the magic of the discovery dissipates. Especially because the T'lan Imass manages to get himself interred within the Azath grounds immediately. | |

Toll the Hounds / int_6439de78 | comment |
Heroic Sacrifice: Anomander Rake sacrifices himself to get Mother Dark to return to her people. This is the equivalent of a religious leader sacrificing himself to bring back a god who abandoned its people. Related to the above: Spinnock breaks down injured and exhausted when he feels Rake's death after stalling Kallor for a whole night for him. Averted in that Korlat sweeps in with a healing draught to tide him over until he can recuperate at home. | |

Draconic Humanoid: In Endest Silann's memories of the fall of Kharkanas, Anomander Rake — after having drunk of T'iam's blood — is shown as a hybrid between a dragon and a his normal Tiste form, unlike his usual either/or appearance. This underlines the mythical nature of Endest Silann's recollections. | |

The Dividual: Scorch and Leff. While Scorch seems perpetually surprised by everything, Leff is more on the suspicious side, but they always act as one entity, and mostly serve as comic relief. They turn out to be surprisingly competent, however, when the need arises. | |

Unwitting Pawn: Traveller just wants to exact revenge on Hood, but due to his Revenge Before Reason mentality, he is easily manipulated into serving Hood's plan. Gaz, the Serial Killer, thinks he is just doing what he wants, but is in truth slowly driven mad by Hood, so that he may continue to kill and thus sacrifice people to Hood — again serving Hood's ultimate plan. Subverted with Nimander and his companions. Clip thinks he can use them as unwitting paws to bring down Anomander Rake, but most of them are perfectly aware of that and only play along because they don't know what else to do. | |

Duel to the Death: Several, in fact: Anomander Rake vs. Traveller. Although the whole thing was staged by Rake. Spinnock Durav vs. High King Kallor, to keep Kallor out of Darujhistan. Murillio vs. Gorlas Vidikas. Sadly, Murillio embodies the 'to the death' part. Gorlas Vidikas vs. Cutter, in which Cutter shows what he's capable of. This one also is an echo of the duel between Turban Orr and Rallick Nom in the first book, Gardens of the Moon. | |

Forgiveness: A major theme in the Redeemer arc. The question posed is whether the Redeemer should accept and forgive all who come to him to redeem their sins, even those who act against him, like Gradithan, or whether a god has the right to choose whom to accept, and if so, who should be the one to choose — the god himself or his priesthood. This stands in stark contrast to the singlemindedness and corruption of the followers of the Dying God, who terrorize the Redeemer's believers. | |

Toll the Hounds / int_cdd676a3 | comment |
Hypercompetent Sidekick: Downplayed. Nimander is quite capable on his own, but he tends to overthink things, which leads to Skintick, who in turn likes to appear like a fool, to be the one to state things plainly and suggest the best solution. | |

Gambit Pileup | |
Toll the Hounds / int_de9047ac | comment |
Within Dragnipur itself, a Gambit Pileup of its own is brewing. Draconus is trying to enlist the strongest captives within the sword in an attempt of a last stand against the Legions of Chaos, while the mad artist Kadaspala is trying to bring a Child God to life via a millennia old, intricate tattoo on all the carriages' inhabitants. Meanwhile, the Goddess of Thieves Apsal'ara is doing her best to find a way out of her captivity. | |

Scary Scarecrows | |
Toll the Hounds / int_e47e0eb | comment |
Scary Scarecrows: During the Dying God arc, Nimander and his companions come across a field full of scarecrows. A closer look shows, however, that the scarecrows are, in fact, corpses wrapped in cloth, which in turn soaks up a thick black substance that is called saemankelyk — it's addictive and used by the cultists of the Dying God. | |

The Plan | |
Toll the Hounds / int_e851b5 | comment |
Anomander Rake, Hood, Shadowthrone and Edgewalker hedge an elaborate plan that will not only relieve Hood of his duties as the God of Death, but free the Gate of Darkness from the wagon within Dragnipur and allow Mother Dark to return to her children again, all while making it impossible for her to ignore Anomander Rake's apology. To make this plan work, both Hood and Anomander Rake stage their own plans: Hood enlists Gaz, a Serial Killer, and his wife Thordy to cause enough bloodshed to enable him to physically materialise in Darujhistan. He's also been collecting the dead and rallying them into an army for quite some time. Anomander Rake, meanwhile, has not been killing people for a very long while, thus weakening the souls within Dragnipur. Conveniently, Shadowthrone and Cotillion are able to use Traveller's — aka Dassem Ultor's aka Dessembrae's (the Lord of Tragedy) — own plan to take revenge on Hood to railroad him (with some help from Tulas Shorn) towards Darujhistan just at the right time to trick him into killing Anomander Rake. | |

Big Damn Heroes: Right when the forces of Chaos are about to devour those few still dragging the wagon within the warren of Dragnipur, Anomander Rake kills Hood, the to-date God of Death. His soul being sucked into Dragnipur opens the way for his Cavalry of the Dead, which consists of all those who have ever died, to swoop in and close with the forces of Chaos just in time to save the day. | |
