Steven Erikson ne cherche pas la facilité :

En gros, Karsa pourrait n'apparaître qu'à partir du troisième et dernier tome, agissant comme la finalité de la grande convergence de la trilogie.
Ça me fait penser un peu à la trilogie Kharkanas dont on pensait que c'était la Jeunesse d'Anomander, voire même le Silmarillion d'Erikson, et l'auteur a pris toutes ses attentes à contrepied.
Ce qui est bien dans cette information, c'est que l'échelle de la trilogie pourra être beaucoup plus grande et épique qu'un récit centré principalement sur Karsa.
Et, petite info au détour d'une phrase :

(Cam Esslemont is right now in the process of filling in that backstory, with one trilogy done and another on the way)

L'écriture est terminée, SE l'a annoncé sur Facebook !
"And so ... fini. 5:25 PM local time. The next few days devoted to a read-through, and then it's off to agents, publishers, etc. Am I pleased? Pretty much. Satisfied? I think so. Exhausted? Oddly enough, not at all. To write is to feed one's own soul. Here I am, full up."

Le pitch de The God Is Not Willing, annoncé sur le site de Penguin Randomhouse pour le 1er juillet 2021 :
Many years have passed since three Teblor warriors brought carnage and chaos to the small lakeside settlement of Silver Lake. While the town has recovered, the legacy of that past horror remains, even if the Teblor tribes of the north no longer venture into the southlands. One of those three, Karsa Orlong, is now deemed to be a god, albeit an indifferent one. In truth, many new cults and religions have emerged across the Malazan world, including those who worship Coltaine, the Black-Winged God, and - popular among the Empire's soldiery - followers of the cult of Iskar Jarak, Guardian of the Dead.
A legion of Malazan marines is on the march towards Silver Lake. responding to intelligence that indicates the tribes beyond the border are stirring. The marines aren't quite sure what they're going to be facing but, while the Malazan military has evolved and these are not the marines of old, one thing hasn't changed: they'll handle whatever comes at them. Or die trying
Meanwhile, in the high mountains, where dwell the tribes of the Teblor, a new warleader has risen. Scarred by the deeds of Karsa Orlong, he intends to confront his god, even if he has to cut a bloody path through the Malazan Empire to do it. Higher in the mountains, a new threat has emerged, and now the Teblor are running out of time.
The long feared invasion is about to begin. And this time it won't be three simple warriors. This time thousands are poised to flood the lands of the south. And in their way, a single legion of Malazan marines . . .
It seems the past is about to revisit Silver Lake, and that is never a good thing . . .
