Description
Book Two of R. Scott Bakker's critically acclaimed fantasy series, The Prince of Nothing, finds the Holy War continuing its inexorable march southward. But the suspicion begins to dawn that the real threat comes not from the infidel but from within...
Steering souls through the subtleties of word and expression, Kellhus strives to extend his dominion over the Men of the Tusk. The sorcerer Achamian and his lover, Esmenet, submit entirely, only to have their faith—and their love—tested in unimaginable ways. Meanwhile, the warrior Cnaiur falls ever deeper into madness. Convinced that Kellhus will betray their pact to murder his father, Cnaiur turns to the agents of the Second Apocalypse and strikes an infernal bargain.
The Holy War stands on a knife edge. If all is not to be lost, the great powers of the world will have to choose between their most desperate desires and the end of the world. Between hatred and hope. Between Anasurimbor Kellhus and the Second Apocalypse...

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
In The Warrior-Prophet, R. Scott Bakker crafts a compelling and unconventional fantasy narrative that stands out in the genre. Compared to authors like George R. R. Martin, Steven Erikson, and Guy Gavriel Kay, Bakker avoids the clichéd 'downtrodden youth becoming king' trope. Readers find the characters intriguing and the world rich with sorcery and turmoil. The story keeps readers engaged, culminating in a dramatic scene that sets the stage for the series' continuation.
