Publisher’s Summary
Some twenty years have passed since the events narrated in The Prince of Nothing. Anasûrimbor Kellhus now rules all the Three Seas , the first true Aspect-Emperor in a thousand years. The masses worship him as a living god, though a few dare claim he's a walking demon. With Proyas and Saubon as his Exalt-Generals , he leads a holy war deep into the wastes of the Ancient North, intent on destroying Golgotterath and preventing the Second Apocalypse . His wife and consort Esmenet , meanwhile, remains in Momemn , where she struggles not only to rule his vast empire, but their murderous children as well. And Achamian , who lives as a Wizard in embittered exile, undertakes a mad quest to uncover the origins of the Dûnyain . But Achamian, of all people, should know that one must be very careful what one seeks… Dedication
To Ricky—friend and brother Acknowledgements
Some books aim your questions wide and thin, while others, I’ve discovered, aim them narrow and deep. First and foremost, I need to thank my lovely wife, Sharron, who has become my conscience in all things. Need I list the other usual suspects? Of course I do. My brother, Bryan Bakker; my agent, Chris Lotts; my English language editors, Barbara Berson, Laura Shin, David Shoemaker, and Darren Nash; and my dear friends Roger Eichorn and Gary Wassner. With so many judging eyes, both shrewd and gifted, no writer could go wrong. Chapter 1

And to his surprise he discovers the slave calling him: "Yemarte… Yemarte’sus! (Blessed… Blessed you)". Chapter 16
Completely outnumbered, the Scalpoi are forced to flee, moving deeper and deeper into the bowels of the Mansion. During the following fights Achamian is knocked unconscious and Mimara manages to kill a Sranc and seizes the Chorae of the inhuman. Aided largely by the Qûya sorcery of Incariol, the remnants of the once-great company manage to rest from the howling inhuman tide. Achamian and Mimara get their first taste of the Qirri. With the Judging Eye open Mimara observes a stranger sitting among the survivors. Then Incariol recognizes the specter as the one of Gin’yursis , the former Non-Man King of Cil-Aujas. The specter possesses Incariol, and realizing the danger they are all in, the survivors move deeper into the Mansion. Arriving at the Great Medial Screw , the dwindling company sees sunlight at the top of the stairs, all they have to do is ascend. The specter of Gin’yursis still follows them, seeing death approaching the Judging Eye of Mimara opens again, and raising her Chorae Mimara drives out the specter off Incariol and off the Mansion. And claim " I guard them! I hold the Gates! " The survivors manage to emerge, more broken than ever. They are on the north side of Aenaratiol, the Long Side stretching out before them. Lord Kosoter takes the first step there, but Soma turns around and soon the whole company realizes that Incariol, the Nonman Cleric now recovered, is following them. Interlude

Plot
Omniscient Men never tire of their own delusions. The Aspect-Emperor, Anasûrimbor Kellhus , has commanded the destruction of all those who dispute the Truth or choose avarice over the demands of the war to come. The war that would prevent the resurrection of the No-God . The Great Ordeal . The Aspect-Emperor has devoted the last ten years to prepare for the greatest host in human history. The Great Ordeal is to march all the way from the frontiers of the New Empire to the stronghold of the Consult , Golgotterath . But the host has to survive the distance to Golgotterath before it can be tested on the field. The Great Ordeal marches through the Kathol Pass. King Coithus Saubon of Caraskand , marches in front with the quicker elements of the host: the Kianene , the Girgashi , the Khirgwi , and the Shrial Knights . Prince Anasûrimbor Kayûtas rides with his father, leading the Kidruhil . King Nersei Proyas of Conriya follows with the rest of the Host. They approach Sakarpus arriving at the Istyuli Plains . The two Exalt Generals of the Great Ordeal, Proyas and Saubon, plan the assault on Sakarpus. They recall the days of the First Holy War and the Unification Wars . An emissary of the Aspect-Emperor demands to see Varalt Harweel II , the King of Sakarpus. Prince Varalt Sorweel attends the meeting as Nersei Proyas, the emissary, demands that his father yield the city and its Chorae Hoard to the Great Ordeal. Sorweel recalls his father telling him that the Aspect-Emperor is a Ciphrang , a Hunger from the Outside . And that he must be resisted with ‘Sword and Shield,’ and if that fails with ‘spits and curses.’ Nersei Proyas implores Harweel to yield the city peacefully, but the King refuses. Proyas declares that the people of Sakarpus shall soon know the difference between the surrender that leads to slavery, and the surrender that sets one free. He then leaves. Sorweel wonders why his father had been so openly terrified of the Aspect-Emperor during the meeting with the emissary. Perhaps there’s something his father is not telling him. Not long afterwards, he’s brought to the barracks by the High Boonsmen . Harweel says that he must see the coming battle so that when his time comes he ‘will not despair.’ Sorweel condemns himself in silence for doubting his father at the moment when he most needed him. He utters the word ‘please,’ but before he could say anything else the door opens and three Horsdelords call out. His last thoughts are ‘forgive me.’ Sorweel finds himself staring down upon the boggling might of the Great Ordeal. Standing with his father on the high curtain walls, he realizes that he and his people are doomed. Then, miraculously, a stork, a bird that is holy to the Sakarpi, appears on the battlements above his father. The two commune in the charged silence that follows, then King Harweel turns and commands that Sorweel be taken to safety. “See that no harm comes to him!” he cries. “He will be our final sword-stroke! Our vengeance!” Dragged away screaming, the young man watches sorcerous flames engulf the parapets and his father upon them. A desperate flight ensues, and it seems that the Aspect-Emperor himself pursues them through the chaotic streets. One of his father’s High Boonsmen tells Sorweel that his father is dead. Sorweel is now King. The pursuit ends in the apparent safety of the citadel. Blasting through walls, Anasûrimbor Kellhus effortlessly kills his protectors. He approaches the adolescent Prince, but rather than seizing or striking him, he embraces him. Tells him that he is forgiven, not by him, but by his father’s love for him. Sorweel weeps for his father and his city; for a world that could ‘wring redemption out of betrayal.’ Point of View

Plot
A human horn sounds followed by a moment of silence. Then Sranc come, running and howling with fury. They smell mannish blood. They run with joy, but the ground breaks beneath them. They’ve been ambushed. A handful of Men lunge into the Sranc’s midst and hack them to pieces. A lone traveller calls out to a group of Scalpoi . They stare in his direction, ‘Just like animals,’ he thinks. He continues to approach passing a dead Sranc. The men return to their work save for three who continue to watch him warily. He has no doubt that the one he seeks is among them. The traveller walks into the scalpers’ midst as they cut flaps of skin from the crown of each dead Sranc. They are extremely conscious of his arrival, but they pretend otherwise. The Scalping Years began nearly eleven years ago, when the Aspect-Emperor Anasûrimbor Kellhus declared the bounty on Sranc scalps. Most scalpers died within weeks, some prospered, and a few became legendary. The traveller finds the man he seeks watching the others work. Behind him sits a second man , his face concealed by a black cowl. He is looking for an Ainoni called Ironsoul , he declares. The man, who is a veteran of the First Holy War , asks how he had found him, to which the traveller replies that they ‘find everyone,’ and that they want him. His Whelming complete, young Anasûrimbor Kelmomas watches a beetle as it hurries across the floor of the Allosium in Momemn. He follows it to the outermost aisle of the Allosium Forum , where the idols of the Hundred Gods resided. The beetle approaches the idol of Ajokli , the Four-Horned Brother. The Thief. Kelmomas observes that the godhouse of Ajokli is much poorer than the godhouses of his brothers and sisters. He thinks that the idol is also watching the beetle. He smiles and nods at the God. Suddenly, Kelmomas is moved by an unaccountable whim; he pins the beetle to the floor and pinches off two of its legs. He laughs to the Idol and begs it watch as the beetle spins around in panic. They “laugh together.” His mother approaches from behind him. Kelmomas is not surprised by her; he knew where she was all along. She has been painted white as part of his Whelming ceremony. He’s very excited to see her and thinks that she is the “world’s most beautiful thing.” She embraces him. “Never was there such a sanctuary,” he thinks. He follows her out of the Allosium. Looking back at Ajokli, he finds him still laughing at the beetle. Kelmomas’ secret voice reminds him that he must hate and fear his father. He must never forget that the Strength burns brightest in his father. Outside, they stand on the crest of the monumental steps that fanned down to the expanse of the Scuäri Campus looking upon the vast and mottled vista of the Momemn, the capital of the Three Seas . The Imperial Precincts are flooded with pilgrims and Momemnites who have come for the Whelming ceremony. Kelmomas, however, is repulsed and thinks that people are bugs. His mother leads him down the steps. A group of his father’s bodyguards escorts them through the Scuäri Campus toward the Andiamine Heights . Kelmomas asks Esmenet about her first daughter, Mimara . He is jealous of his mother’s love for her and recalls that it was the secret voice that made him drive her away, but now he thinks that maybe he should have killed her. Kelmomas asks about his father and smiles at the thought that he might die if the Great Ordeal fails. Then there is commotion. Assassins approach. Point of View
