{"product_id":"the-darkness-that-comes-before-the-prince-of-nothing-book-one","title":"The Darkness That Comes Before: The Prince of Nothing, Book One","description":"A mysterious traveler intervenes in an epic holy war in this “impressive, challenging debut” of the critically acclaimed fantasy epic (Publishers Weekly, starred review).\n\nThe first book in R. Scott Bakker's Prince of Nothing series introduces readers to a strikingly original and engrossingly vivid new world. With its language and classes of people, its cities, religions, mysteries, taboos, and rituals, The Darkness That Comes Before has drawn comparison to J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings and Frank Herbert’s Dune.\n\nBakker’s Eärwa is a world scarred by an apocalyptic past, evoking a time both two thousand years past and two thousand years into the future. As untold thousands gather for a crusade, two men and two women are ensnared by a mysterious traveler, Anasûrimbor Kellhus—part warrior, part philosopher, part sorcerous, charismatic presence—from lands long thought dead.\n\nThe Darkness That Comes Before is a history of this great holy war, and like all histories, the survivors write its conclusion.\n\nThe Prince of Nothing Series\nThe Darkness That Comes Before\nThe Warrior Prophet\nThe Thousandfold Thought\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1590201183\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1590201183.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Bakker, R.
