Scott Bakkers Prince of Nothing series creates a remarkable world from whole cloth-its language and classes of people  its cities  religions  mysteries  taboos  and rituals-the kind of all-embracing universe Tolkien and Herbert created unforgettably in the epic fantasies The Lord of the Rings and Dune. Its 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. Among them  two men and two women are ensnared by a mysterious traveler  Anasrimbor 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45529677889589,"sku":"ByrdShop_1585675598","price":350.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781585675593.jpg?v=1780941432","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-darkness-that-comes-before-9781585675593","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
