and with the death of messiah, the world's pillars shook...

The final book in the "Blood of the Lamb" trilogy reties all loose ends and makes the story perfect. The parallel to the gospels returns in force and you'll find your ground again. After being delivered to his greatest, mightiest (and still secret) enemy, the Messiah, Essaj, is given a perfunctory trial and is declared an heretic. Convinced by the truth of his words, the women (as they are more practical beings and don't doubt what they actually see; I really liked this view :)) try to help him, and fail. But in the riots that shake the Sharajnaghim, the prophecy of the three mages comes to full and bitter life: "one will stand aside and watch his love killed; two will deliver the third up to be slain; and one will kill the other". I won't tell you what happens to wich - but you'll be surprised. But in the New Covenant, the Messiah was sacrificed... as Essaj is. So what does happen to a world where magic is still alive? How does a god's death affect the fabric of the world? What happens to the three mages after their task is wholly complete? This is a great ending to the trilogy. I can't say wich book I like best, because I see them as a whole. (Well, my favourite good guy was Erim, but I liked Sharif too, single minded as he turned out to be. As for Nahwar... He did play Judas. And he played well).If it tells you something, I've read the books a few years ago, but I remember them perfectly. It will happen to you. They are that strong. Try them on. This trilogy is one to remember.
