Some legends are simply too tenacious to die. Grombrindal, that wandering, white-bearded duardin who survived even the death of the World-that-Was, now walks the Mortal Realms lending aid where it’s needed.
So when his kin find themselves besieged by terrible powers in a new Black Library novel, this roaming warrior decides it’s time to make a stand.
Grombrindal: Ancestor’s Burden by Chris Thursten is the White Dwarf’s first full-length novel appearance in the Mortal Realms. The ancient sky-city of Barak-Thyrng is under attack by a frenzied horde of Gloomspite Gitz in search of the Bad Moon, and the whiff of Tzeentchian scheming hangs heavy in the air as the Changer of the Ways pulls strings in the shadows.
Into this volatile mix steps Grombrindal accompanied by the Oathbreakers, a group of duardin who harbour an individual cursed by the Ancestor’s Burden.
Chris is no stranger to chronicling the adventures of this legendary warrior, having penned the Grombrindal serial that appeared in recent issues of White Dwarf. This exciting novel will delight fans of action and intrigue in the Mortal Realms when it is released next year.
You can also catch up on some of Grombrindal’s earlier adventures by checking out the anthology Grombrindal: Chronicles of the Wanderer by David Guymer – himself no stranger to doughty bearded fellers. If the fell forces of Chaos are more your thing, you can catch up on Chris Thursten’s previous works in Darkoath: A Gunnar Brand Novel, and read all about his experience writing about another oathsworn warrior.
