Carnage and adventure in the savage world of Warhammer . . .
'Konrad gazed at the terrible scene that confronted him. Litzenreich and Ustnar were nailed by their hands and feet to the ground, their limbs outspread. Between them was room for another crucifixion. Four iron nails marked where the third victim's palms and ankles would be hammered into the rock - and Konrad was that intended sacrifice.'
Konrad is man of destiny, linked to the eternal schemings of the Chaos Powers in ways he can neither understand nor escape. The mystery of his destiny plunges him into a new set of deadly adventures, aided by the Warblade, a mystical sword forged especially for his hand. Konrad and his band of fellows are thrown into conflict with their old enemies the skaven, who are plotting against the life of the emperor himself.
