Book Description
The story is centered on three characters, and it is about change. Fantasy is the metaphor for the story, because it represents something that is important to us, something that we are comfortable with, something we enjoy, something we would really miss, something that makes us happy, something we practice without giving much thought to the outcome, something we don’t want to give up, and something that can even destroy us. We will look at the change that comes into the lives of these three characters, and how they learn to deal with that change, and ultimately realize that change for all the right reasons is good

The Darkness That Comes Before
Author: R. Scott Bakker
Publisher: Abrams
ISBN: 1590203852
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 531
Book 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). The 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. Bakker’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. The Darkness That Comes Before is a history of this great holy war, and like all histories, the survivors write its conclusion.
