The White-Luck Warrior Book Two

The White-Luck Warrior Book Two by R. Scott Bakker is a reprint edition published by Harry N. Abrams on May 29, 2012. This 608-page work continues the epic fantasy adventure that began in The Judging Eye, featuring a world filled with warring emperors, wizards, and gods. The narrative follows Ruler Anasurimbor Kellhus and his Great Ordeal as they venture deeper into the Ancient North, facing an impending conflict with the Consult. Meanwhile, Kellhus’s consort, Esmenet, grapples with the challenges of maintaining the empire while contending with divine forces and familial strife.

Readers will encounter a rich tapestry of characters and events as the story unfolds, including the exiled wizard Achamian, who embarks on a mission to the fabled ruins of Sauglish in search of unsettling truths. The introduction of the White-Luck Warrior, an enigmatic figure embodying both assassin and messiah, adds further complexity to the narrative. This installment delves into themes of myth, war, and sorcery, contributing to the expansive world-building characteristic of the Aspect-Emperor series.
