www.amazon.com/Darkness-Comes-Before-Prince-Nothing/dp/B00509CSY2This is probably one of the most engaging series I've ever read. It's a fantasy setting with some magic thrown in, but Bakker has taken all of it to a whole new level. The characters are amazing and the story is really great. They are broken up into 2 arcs so far - The first 3 are a "complete" trilogy that follows the mission of Kellhaus to find his father. The next 2 are part of a second trilogy that picks up about 20 years or so after the first trilogy ends and is awesome. If you have any interest in fantasy, history (the first trilogy parallels the first Crusade), sociology, or just a good story, you should check it out.

Love this series. I've read all the released stuff so far and it's fantastic.
A seriously gritty and adult fantasy. Deals with some heavy issues as well, without beating around the bush.

I've never had such visceral reaction to characters as I have with the characters in this series.
