The White-Luck Warrior: The Aspect-Emperor: Book Two - Paperback

by R. Scott Bakker (Author)

The epic fantasy adventure of warring emperors, wizards, and gods continues in this sequel to The Judging Eye.

Ruler Anasurimbor Kellhus and his Great Ordeal march ever farther into the Ancient North, toward an epic conflict with the Consult. Kellhus's consort Esmenet, charged with maintaining the empire, finds herself at war with gods as well as her own family.

Exiled wizard Achamian, meanwhile, leads his own ragtag mission to the legendary ruins of Sauglish to confront a horrifying truth. Into this tumult walks the White-Luck Warrior, assassin and messiah both.

An uncompromising portrayal of a catastrophic world of myth, war, and sorcery, the scope and creativity of the Aspect-Emperor books stand alongside George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire.
