Cover description

In the Tephra Crater lies the city of Uryx, a once-proud bastion now overrun by the Bloodbound. Anhur the Scarlet Lord means to use the city to open a gateway to Khorne’s own realm and drench all of Klaxus in blood. Only Sigmar’s chosen stand in his way – the Warrior Chamber of Orius the Adamantine, one of many fighting a bitter war of liberation in this region. Their quest is a grim one: breach the walls and reach the heart of Uryx to prevent a ritual that will bring about death untold. The hopes of all Klaxus rest on Lord-Celestant Orius – his warriors are many, and heroes all, but to triumph he must defeat not only the forces of Chaos but the demons of his own past.

Assault on the Mandrake Bastion Cover.jpg
Part one in the Black Rift of Klaxus series
Witness the Stormcast Eternals in epic battle, as thousands of warriors unite to stop the followers of the Blood God from opening the Black Rift of Klaxus.
READ IT BECAUSE
It's a massive battle between Order and Chaos! Thousands of Stormcast Eternals from a dozen Stormhosts get their hammers dirty fighting the cannibalistic servants of Khorne. And a seriously creepy new villain makes his first appearance – but not his last, because this Quick Read is the first in a larger story.
THE STORY
Orius Adamantine, Lord-Celestant of the Hammers of Sigmar, leads a ferocious attack on the Tephra Crater to unseat the dread lord Anhur of the Bloodbound. In his path lies the Mandrake Bastion, a fortress saturated with dark magic. Succeed here and the Adamantine Warrior Chamber will have a vital foothold in the ongoing war against the Chaos forces seeking to open the Black Rift of Klaxus!

READ IT BECAUSE
Get your first look at the rituals of the Khorne Bloodbound. Find out why Slaughterpriests are so exalted (and very, very killy) and why there have to be eight champions in a warband – and what someone has to go through to become one of those eight. Watch out. It's gonna get messy.
