The Warrior Prophet (The Prince of Nothing Book 2)

The second book in the series follows a vast Holy War as a powerful new force emerges. The first battle against the heathen has been won, but the Great Names quarrel over the spoils while Kellhus attracts more followers. The sorcerer Achamian and his lover Esmenet submit entirely, only to face an unimaginable test of faith. The warrior Cnaiur descends further into madness. The skin-spies of the Consult watch with growing concern. Across the desert wastes, a name and title begin circulating among the faithful. Who is the Warrior-Prophet? A dangerous heretic dividing brother against brother, or the only person who can prevent the Second Apocalypse? As the Holy War's fate hangs in balance, the great powers must choose between their most desperate desires and their deepest prejudices—between hatred and hope, between the Warrior-Prophet and the world's end.
