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.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut 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...","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46325525381278,"sku":"ADS-9781841494081","price":27.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781841494081.jpg?v=1766546734","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781841494081","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
