Black Library: New Releases 4-29-17

This week Librarians, the Vaults of Terra open on the inquisition, a sorcerer, and more…

Harrowing tales abound this week, Librarians. Whether it’s stories of the Inquisition’s operatives scouring the Imperium for signs of heretics–keeping even the Throneworld itself, Holy Terra, safe from the enemies of man–or chasing down rumors of Chaos tainting the hearts of men (and their bodies, thanks to a devious drug). Or journey to the Black Rift and witness Sigmar’s most powerful warriors stand against their enemies.

Whatever adventure you seek, you’re sure to find it within the Black Library.

Vaults of Terra: The Carrion Throne (Hardback) $27

THE STORY
In the hellish sprawl of Imperial Terra, Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor Erasmus Crowl serves as a stalwart and vigilant protector, for even the Throneworld is not immune to the predations of its enemies. In the course of his Emperor-sworn duty, Crowl becomes embroiled in a dark conspiracy, one that leads all the way to the halls of the Imperial Palace. As he plunges deeper into the shadowy underbelly of the many palace districts, his investigation attracts the attention of hidden forces, and soon he and his acolyte Spinoza are being hunted – by heretics, xenos, servants of the Dark Powers, or perhaps even rival elements of the Inquisition itself. Soon they discover a terrible truth, one that if allowed to get out could undermine the very fabric of the Imperium itself.

READ IT BECAUSE
It’s a novel that gets into the seedy underbelly of the Throneworld, Terra itself, at the end of the 41st millennium!

Black Rift – $16.00

THE STORY
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.
