A score of centuries has passed since the First Apocalypse & the thoughts of men have turned inevitably to more worldly concerns A veteran sorcerer & 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 & into this world steps a man like no other seeking to bind all
- man & woman emperor & 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 & ancient evil is reawakening After two thousand years the No-God is returning The Second Apocalypse is nigh & one cannot raise walls against what has been forgotten
