GWS-BL1050 Games Workshop Black Library Warhammer 40,000: Night Lords - The Omnibus

About This Book

The Night Lords have been losing for ten thousand years and have not stopped for a moment. Their primarch is dead, their Legion is scattered, and what remains hunts through the dark carrying a grudge against the Emperor that has long outlived any prospect of settling it.

This omnibus follows one warband of them, held together by the visions of a prophet named Talos who would rather not be having them. Across three novels they scrape through a war against the Imperium, fall foul of other renegades who are no friendlier for being fellow traitors, and are eventually run down by the Aeldari of Craftworld Ulthwé, which drags them back to the site of the worst defeat they ever suffered.

What makes the trilogy hold up is that the Night Lords are not written as monsters having a good time. They are exhausted, they bicker, and they are entirely aware that they are the villains of somebody else's story.

What's Included

• Soul Hunter, novel
• Blood Reaver, novel
• Void Stalker, novel
• Additional Night Lords short fiction

Who It's For

Anyone who wants to read the Warhammer 40,000 setting from the wrong side of it. This is one of the entry points people recommend to readers who have bounced off the more heroic corners of the range, because the perspective is genuinely villainous rather than an Imperial story with the labels swapped.

Also a natural pick if you collect Chaos Space Marines and want the background behind the models, and a sensible single purchase for a new reader: three novels in one volume rather than hunting the trilogy separately.
