Book description
All opposition to the man once derided as the Prince of Nothing has
vanished or been vanquished. Their leaders slain, the heathen Fanim have
fled in disarray. One final march will bring the Holy War to the fabled
city of Shimeh. But so very much has changed. Anasurimbor Kellhus, the
Warrior-Prophet, now leads the Men of the Tusk. The cuckolded sorcerer
Achamian serves as his tutor, betraying his school to keep safe the man
he believes can prevent the Second Apocalypse. The Scylvendi barbarian,
Cnaiur, succumbs finally to madness. The Consult, sensing the endgame of
millennia of planning, work frantically to prepare for the coming of the
No-God. The final reckoning is at hand. Faceless assassins will strike
in the dead of night. Kings and Emperors will fall. The sorcerous
Schools will be unleashed. And Anasurimbor Kellhus will at last confront
his father and the dread revelation of the Thousandfold Thought. R.
