Dark epic fantasy challenges conventional boundaries.

If you're aching for a fantasy series that dares to step away from the well-trodden paths of Tolkien-esque worlds, "The Darkness That Comes Before" should be on your shelf. R. Scott Bakker has crafted a narrative so rich and intense, it's like peeling back layers of history atop a realm of magic and forgotten powers. Dive into a complex tale of ambition, betrayal, and the awakening of an ancient evil that might resonate with you long after the last page.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

A score of centuries has passed since the First Apocalypse and the thoughts of men have turned, inevitably, to more worldly concerns...A veteran sorcerer and spy seeks news of an ancient enemy. A military genius plots to conquer the known world for his Emperor but dreams of the throne for himself. The spiritual leader of the Thousand Temples seeks a Holy War to cleanse the land of the infidel. An exiled barbarian chieftain seeks vengeance against the man who disgraced him. And into this world steps a man like no other, seeking to bind all - man and woman, emperor and slave - to his own mysterious ends.But the fate of men - even great men - means little when the world itself may soon be torn asunder. Behind the politics, beneath the religious fervour, a dark and ancient evil is reawakening. After two thousand years, the No-God is returning. The Second Apocalypse is nigh. And one cannot raise walls against what has been forgotten.
