Nyssa Volari is dying. But that is impossible, because she is a Soulblight vampire, blessed by Nagash with blood-fuelled immortality. More than that, Nyssa is a fighter – one of the handful of Kastelai vampires not dissolved into true death when the Crimson Keep abandoned them a century ago. With her blades and her will, she carved a kingdom out of the Broken Plains of Aqshy.These things matter little, for Nyssa's blood is cursed. It destroyed the vampire she called father, and as it threatens to do the same to her, Nyssa's allies abandon her one by one. Worse still, an army of zealots led by a brutal priest of Sigmar comes to destroy the vampire lord and claim her birthright.Nyssa Volari is dying. But that is impossible, because she has spent every moment of her second life refusing to lose.

Deep in the heart of the Skaven apocalypse, where survival lies on a knife edge, ratmen and Reclusians alike race towards a prize that will turn the tide of war – a lost Stormcast brother. Should the enemy uncover his forbidden knowledge, Aqshy will surely fall, so, for the chosen of Sigmar, failure is not an option.The journey is long and full of strife, and for the mortal acolytes who accompany the Reclusians – guardians of their memories and faith – it may be the last steps they take. Yet together, they are hope when hope is dying, a truth they all must seize upon. For without it, they are victims of nightmares and shadow, ushering in this new Hour of Ruin.

At the heart of the Realm of Shadow, there lies a place of deepest dark. A cold and ancient labyrinth beneath the ocean bed, where strange halls echo with the sounds of death, and shadow-magics lurk in every nook and cranny. Whispers of its existence haunt the port taverns, along with a rumour that once dragged down to those watery depths, there is no hope of escape.But there are those whose fate has already been sealed. A band of Stormcast-errant on a mission to discover the whereabouts of missing fleets; two pirate captains, vying for power on the seas; and a pair of priests on the hunt for a potent weapon. All have fallen prey to this sunken hell, and to survive, they must preserve their sanity. For those above will forget them – the wailing of the wind will smother their cries. And in every waking moment, all they will know is the horror of Harrowdeep.
