About this deal
Finally the Black Celebration 2023 will be accompanied by a special paperback anthology that contains five stories covering Warhammer 40,000, Warhammer Age of Sigmar, Warhammer The Horus Heresy, as well as a tale each from Warhammer Horror and Crime. Volume II picks up right where the first left off, with cataclysmic events building up to an epic conclusion that will shake the very galaxy to its core. Sanguinius, Primarch of the Blood Angels, steps foot on The Vengeful Spirit with only one goal: to kill his corrupted brother and end the war once and for all.
Doombreed, the host of Drach'nyen, Be'Lakor, N'Kari, Ku'gath, Skarbrand, The Masque, Bubonicus, Ulkair from Dawn of War etc. How we think this story should end is not just from the Siege of Terra, or the impossibly lengthy Horus Heresy series. There’s a million literary, historical, GW and Heresy references in there to the point that some of it is just winks and nods, and eventually the story, blissfully, drags itself out of them. The last remaining figures of the Heresy are drawn together to play these final moments out and their stories intercut at a rapid pace to draw both the broad strokes of the end and a thousand very personal, often extremely terminal, details.While exploring the Imperial library Loken finds a door that didn't exist previously and it takes him to the Vengeful Spirit.
The End and the Death Volume 2 will be available soon in hardback, and we’ll have more info on Volume 3 on Warhammer Community as soon as we get it!
We’re left knowing much of the why of the familiar story when we’ve only had some of the what before. Dan Abnett has written over fifty novels, including the acclaimed Gaunt’s Ghosts series and the Ravenor, Eisenhorn and Bequin books. We’re taken through the final dying days of the Siege of Terra, where the Loyalist forces are either locked behind the Eternity Gate or they’re ending their lives in blood and pain out in the ruins of the Palace. Dorn is teleported to a desert where he spends centuries surrounded by tens of thousands of dead Imperial Fists. There is a sense of history, pivoting in the most dramatic sense, and a lot of very important loose ends come together.
