Gitslayer
Hell-bent on ridding himself of the Fyreslayer rune buried in his chest, Gotrek Gurnisson, the greatest Slayer to ever live, travels deep into the strange, alchemical realm of Chamon. Using their mysterious aether-science, the Kharadron Overlords of Barak-Urbaz offer an end to Gotrek’s quest. But, as the Bad Moon rises and murderous Gloomspite Gitz threaten to destroy the sky-port, Gotrek pits himself against the most ancient enemy of his people – the greenskins. While his aelven travelling companion, Maleneth Witchblade, struggles to keep him alive, Gotrek throws himself headlong into a bloody battle for survival that will take him into the dank, fungal heart of Skragrott’s Asylum.
Written by Darius Hinks.
Undeath Ascendant
Ancient and cruel, vampires are reviled across the realms of man for their cunning intellect and bloodthirsty pleasures. These quicksilver killers prowl the grim, shaded forests and walled cities of the Old World, slaughtering without mercy, in eternal bondage to a despicable thirst. Only the most valorous heroes of the Empire brave the epic quests to hold back this darkness, and hold it back they must, lest the curse of undeath makes monsters of them all…
This omnibus edition collects together three novels and three short stories focused on the dread vampires of the Old World.

A Dynasty of Monsters
The Colonnade, a free city held aloft by gargantuan pillars and crowned with a spire of diamonds, is the jewel of Ghur, obsessed with purity in a realm of bestial savagery. But now, it faces annihilation at the hands of an unstoppable beastherd. In a desperate gamble, Councillor Atella Reigehren requests the aid of a being anathema to the Colonnade. She seeks Lauka Vai, the Mother of Nightmares, and her dynasty of monsters, the Avengorii. The crucible of war has thrown these factions together, but can they put their differences aside to face this common foe, or will the clash of purity and monstrosity be their undoing?
