Now back in the Empire following their sojourn overseas, Gotrek and Felix head north, to aid the men of the Empire in their fight against the invading Chaos hordes. Stopping off in Nuln, they meet up with dwarf engineer Malakai Makaisson, who is helping the Imperial war effort by transporting cannons to the frontline on his airship, the Spirit of Grugni. After a series of nasty accidents, it becomes clear that saboteurs are at work – can our heroes find the villains in time to save the day?

The epic saga of Ragnar Blackmane continues with this explosive tale set on the holy planet of Terra, where the ancient navigator house of Belisarius has long been allied with the mighty Space Wolves. In return for the means to navigate the treacherous warp, the Space Wolves provide an honour guard for the Patriarch of the house. But as Ragnar takes up this assignment, he uncovers a plot that reaches into the very depths of the Imperium and perhaps even to the God-Emperor himself!

Gotrek & Felix arrive back to the southern coast of the Old World to discover that the orcs are running rampant. With the Empire’s armies desperately fighting off a major Chaos invasion further inland, the lands are laid bare. To honour an ancient pledge, Gotrek agrees to help a dwarf prince reclaim his hold from the savage greenskin invaders who have overrun it, but the intrepid heroes find more than they bargain for in the cold depths of the mountains.
