  <default_description>With this first book of his Aspect-Emperor trilogy, R. Scott Bakker returns to the world he created for The Prince of Nothing, giving readers a story filled with action, treachery, passion, and detail. Two thousand years have passed since the No-God last walked the earth; now Anas&#251;rimbor Kellhus has seized absolute power with the promise of preventing his dread return. Will Kellhus save the world or has the end already begun?
