Black Library Advent – Only 3 Days To Go
The Black LIbrary’s Advent Calendar is ticking down. Here’s one last look at the latest new stories before the weekend is upon us, with winter’s wrath hot (well cold) on its heels. With expectations, lies about purity, and atonement–it seems like the Black Library has the holiday spirit on lock.
The Black Library’s Advent Calendar is very nearly complete. With just three stories left (One Aquilla, one Skull, and one all-seeing Eye for those of you counting emblems), here’s where we stand.

THE STORY
When the underhive bounty hunter Arturos delivers a renegade Goliath to the Guilder Meriko, he expects his payment of 60 credits for the capture. But Meriko has taken out more bounties than he can afford, and payment isn’t forthcoming… Luckily for him, among the junk in his shop is a treasure that’s worth Arturos’ time and effort. A Spiraptor, a mechanical bodyguard programmed to protect a wealthy individual, it sends Arturos on a quest that could make his fortune – or claim his life.
THE STORY
The town of Shadowvel in the Realm of Shyish lies outwith the domains of Neferata, Mortarch of Blood – but that does not make its inhabitants safe from her displeasure… Shadowvel has stood for centuries against all the hordes of Chaos thrown against it. But Neferata would see it fall, and the Maggotkin hordes of the Children of the Bell are the perfect weapon to wield against the spirits of Shadowvel. And none are better at manipulating a foe than Neferata…
THE STORY
Of all the explorers in the Blackstone Fortress, few are as feared by those who have made Precipice a home as Taddeus the Purifier. Though the Ecclesiarchy priest disdains all those around him who would plunder the fortress for profit or power, he knows they are of use – for the visions sent to him by the Emperor are all that matters. Accompanying Rogue Trader Janus Draik in search of a hidden vault will put Taddeus’ beliefs to the test, as danger looms.Advertisement
THE STORY
Drawn to a haunted graveyard in the Realm of Beasts by rumours of a fearsome creature, the aelven Prince Maesa seeks to cleanse the area of its taint. Along with his allies Stonbrak the duardin and Shattercap, the malevolent spite who serves him, Maesa sets out to defeat the beast – a terrifying and monstrous spirit known as a Mourngul. But there is more to this horror than meets the eye, and unless they can solve the mystery surrounding it, the Mourngul may spell the heroes’ fate.
Happy reading!
