The much-anticipated third installment of R. Scott Bakker's acclaimed series, The Aspect-Emperor. Praised by followers and critics worldwide, R. Scott Bakker is becoming one of the most celebrated voices in illusion literature. With The Great Ordeal, Bakker reveals the long-anticipated third level of The Aspect-Emperor, a string that stands with the finest in the genre for its grandiose scope, rich detail, and exciting story. As Fanim conflict drums beat just outside the city, Empress Anasurimbor Esmenet queries frantically throughout the palace for her missing boy, Kelmomas. On the other hand, and many miles away, Esmenet's husband's Great Ordeal goes on its epic march farther north. However in light of dwindling supplies, the Aspect-Emperor's decision to allow his men to consume the flesh of fallen Sranc would have implications even he couldn't have foreseen. And deep in Ishual, the wizard Achamian grapples along with his fear that his unspeakably long trip might be finishing in emptiness, no nearer to the reality than when he set out. The Aspect-Emperor series follows Bakker's Prince of Little or nothing saga, returning to the same world twenty years later. The Great Ordeal follows The Judging Eyes and The White-Luck Warrior and delivers the first 50 % of the conclusion to the epic story. Returning to Bakker's richly imagined universe of misconception, violence, and sorcery, The Aspect-Emperor goes on to create the pub for the illusion genre, getting new levels of intricacy and interpretation.
