The Darkness That Comes Before: The Prince of Nothing, Book One - Softcover
Book 1 of 3: The Prince of Nothing
Synopsis
A mysterious traveler emerges from a forgotten land as nations prepare for a holy war in this acclaimed opening novel of R. Scott Bakker’s Prince of Nothing trilogy.
Combining vast worldbuilding, political intrigue, and philosophical depth across the sprawling realm of Eärwa, The Darkness That Comes Before is ideal for readers who enjoy Dune, The Lord of the Rings, and other ambitious works of epic fantasy. "An impressive, challenging debut." ― Publishers Weekly (starred review)
For centuries, humanity has believed the horrors of the First Apocalypse were buried in the distant past. But as armies gather, rival faiths clash, and powerful rulers pursue their own ambitions, ancient forces begin to stir once more. Beneath the turmoil of a world on the brink, a long-forgotten threat is returning.
Into this conflict steps Anasûrimbor Kellhus, a brilliant warrior-philosopher from a hidden society long thought lost. As his influence spreads across the Three Seas, allies, enemies, sorcerers, and kings alike find themselves drawn into a struggle that could determine the fate of civilization itself.
Dark, intelligent, and unforgettable, The Darkness That Comes Before is the beginning of one of fantasy's most ambitious and thought-provoking series, perfect for readers who enjoy epic fantasy, complex characters, political intrigue, military conflict, and richly imagined worlds.
It is the history of a great holy war, and like all histories, the survivors write its conclusion.
