“They were the most seamless things, a perfect fusion of artifice and organism. They did not wear their armour or carry their weapons.

My first Warhammer novel. Never played the game and had no idea what to expect. Was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. Will continue with the next book and see how things go.Write Review:
