Warhammer: The End Times - 1: Lords of the Dead

More about the book

The End Times have begun, though few are aware. The servants of the Great Necromancer seek to resurrect their master, while the Dark Gods launch an assault on the Empire in the initial novels of this series. In the first story, as Chaos threatens to engulf the world, Mannfred von Carstein and Arkhan the Black unite to bring back the Great Necromancer, the only one capable of opposing the Ruinous Powers. They gather artifacts for a dark ritual as armies converge on Sylvania to thwart them. Determined, they pursue their goal, knowing that Nagash must rise again. In the second story, with Chaos forces gathering in the north, Emperor Karl Franz leads his armies to defend the Empire. When disaster strikes and the Emperor is lost, Reiksmarshal Kurt Helborg must return to Altdorf to prepare for a final confrontation with the Ruinous Powers. As plague spreads and defenses crumble, hope seems lost until unexpected help arrives, but Helborg must be willing to accept it. This collection also features short stories that deepen the lore, including tales of struggle and resilience. Understanding these events is crucial to appreciating the Age of Sigmar, as they mark the resurrection of Nagash and the siege of Altdorf, heralding the return of Sigmar’s power.
