A score of years after he first walked into the histories of Men, Anasūrimbor Kellhus rules all the Three Seas, the first true Aspect-Emperor in a thousand years.

Wielding more power than even the greatest sorcerer, Kellhus now leads a holy war deep into the wastes of the Ancient North, intent on destroying the stronghold of Golgotterath and preventing the Second Apocalypse.

Meanwhile his wife and consort, Esmenet, struggles to rule not only his vast empire, but their murderous children as well. And Achamian, who lives as a Wizard in embittered exile, undertakes a mad quest to uncover the origins of the Dūnyain.

But Achamian, of all people, should know that one must be very careful what one seeks . . .

Review:
Praise for The Prince of Nothing Series
"[Bakker] clamps his hand over yours and simply does not let go...Amid the cluttered shelves of the Epic Fantasy genre, Bakker is a name that stands out among not just the new writers in the crowd but established and recognized names."--"Sffworld"
"The entire series is going to set a new standard for fantasy writers everywhere."--"The Alien Online"
"Exquisitely intelligent and beautifully written...this is fantasy with muscle and brains, rife with intrigue and admirable depth of character, set in a world laden with history and detail."
-Steve Erikson, author of "Gardens of the Moon"

a"The Judging Eye" is more accessible to the average reader without sacrificing the depth that gained Bakker so much acclaim. A powerful start to a new trilogy." a"CinemaRatty," aBloggeras Favorites of 2008a
aA journey unlike any other you have experienced. Part Dante's Inferno and part Conrad's Heart Of Darkness, this is fantasy literature like you've never read before.a a"Blogcritics"
aIn a very short time, author R. Scott Bakker has proven that he is well on his way to building a universe that is arguably comparable with those created by the likes of Frank Herbert ("Dune") and Isaac Asimov ("Foundation"). What Bakkerdoes that his contemporaries do not and that those SFF luminaries did was completely imagine -- from the ground up -- a universe so satisfyingly detailed you felt as though you could slip inside.a a"January Magazine"
aA powerful start to a new trilogy.a a"SFFWorld.com," aFavorite Booksa
aFull of absolutely brilliant vignettesa]"The Judging Eye" is a must-read that will not only appeal to fans of R. Scott Bakkeras brilliant Prince of Nothing trilogy, but also new readers wanting to see what all the fuss is about.a a"FantasyBookCritic"
