Synopsis
The Men of the Great Ordeal have been abandoned by Aspect-Emperor Anasurimbor Kellhus and the formerly epic crusade has devolved into a group of gluttonous cannibals, mere shells of the Believer-Kings of the Three Seas. When Exalt-General Proyas, with the Imperial-Prince Kayutas at his side, attempts to control the lost Men and continue their march to Golgotterath, it rapidly becomes clear that the lost Lord-and-Profit is not so easily shaken from the mission, and the all-consuming desire for Sranc flesh is not as simplistic as the Men may have thought.
Tensions arise when the flesh of the Sranc runs out. When Sorweel, Believer-King of Sakarpus, and Serwa, daughter of the Aspect-Emperor, join the Great Ordeal they discover that the Shortest Path is not always the most obvious, or the safest. Souls, morals, and relationships are called into question when no one can be trusted, and the price for their sins is greater than they imagined.
