內容簡介: |
A score of centuries has passed since the First Apocalypse and
the thoughts of men have turned, inevitably, to more worldly
concerns...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. But 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...
