A score of years after he first walked into the histories of Men, Anasûrimbor 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 Dûnyain. But Achamian, of all people, should know that one must be very careful what one seeks . . .

Cette saga épique se déroule dans un monde dirigé par une figure charismatique mais controversée, acclamée comme un dieu et crainte comme un démon. Elle relate ses luttes de pouvoir, ses guerres saintes et sa quête pour empêcher une apocalypse, tandis que sa famille navigue dans les traîtresses politiques de la cour et leurs propres héritages sombres.

Cette série explore les thèmes du pouvoir, de la foi, du destin et de l'influence corruptrice de l'autorité absolue.
