Checking Availibility...Description
As a vast Holy War begins, a powerful new force emerges in the second book of R. Scott Bakker's "violent, passionate, darkly poetic" (SFSite.com) Prince of Nothing fantasy series.
The first battle against the heathen has been won, but while the Great Names squabble over the spoils, Kellhus draws more followers to his banner.
The sorcerer Achamian and his lover, Esmenet, submit entirely--only to face an unimaginable test of faith. The warrior Cnaiur falls ever deeper into madness. The skin-spies of the Consult watch with growing trepidation. And across the searing wastes of the desert, a name--a title--begins to be whispered among the faithful.
Who is the Warrior Prophet? A dangerous heretic who turns brother against brother? Or the only man who can avert the Second Apocalypse?
With the fate of the Holy War hanging in the balance, the great powers will have to choose between their most desperate desires and their most ingrained prejudice. Between hatred and hope. Between the Warrior-Prophet and the end of the world . . .
"A class act . . . very impressive." --SFX
