The Judging Eye: The Aspect-Emperor Book One

Description

“Among the greatest . . . A plot and subplot that is like the climactic movement of a symphony.” —Realms of Fantasy

The acclaimed author of the Prince of Nothing series returns with a new epic fantasy series in the same richly layered universe.

With this first book in the Aspect-Emperor quartet, R. Scott Bakker delves into his richly imagined universe of myth, violence, and sorcery.

Remolding the fantasy genre to broaden the scope of intricacy and meaning, Bakker has once again written a fantasy series that defies all expectations and rewards the reader with an experience unlike any to be had in the canon of today’s literature.

An uncompromising portrayal of a catastrophic world of myth, war, and sorcery, the scope and creativity of the Aspect-Emperor books stand alongside George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire.

• The Judging Eye
