Abraxia: Spear of the Everchosen (Hardback)

Blackpyre Ascendant - A Warhammer Age of Sigmar novel for wargaming and jeux de figurines fans

Abraxia, the ruthless champion of Archaon, has torn the Phoenicium from its past and kindled the dread metropolis of Blackpyre upon its embers. Claiming the throne is merely her opening move. To keep the nightmare dominion she has forged, Abraxia must outwit betrayal, bend warring Chaos cabals to her purpose, and prove that strength, cunning, and terrifying resolve can hold what fear alone cannot. As the Mortal Realms watch, the Realm of Life seethes and every rival measures the moment to strike.

Once a pit fighter, now the prodigal daughter of the Varanspire, Abraxia bears Gorbolga—the Everchosen's cursed spear. In her hands it is more than a token; it is the instrument by which she will etch Blackpyre's destiny and carve a fresh route along the Path to Glory. Blackpyre Ascendant delivers a brutal, character-led plunge into Chaos ascendancy, perfect for readers who crave rich Warhammer Age of Sigmar lore and the visceral stakes of power won by blood and fire.

From the ruins of the Phoenicium to the rule of Blackpyre

The City of Rebirth is shattered, and from its wreckage a new citadel rises. At Blackpyre's jagged crown stands Abraxia—Archaon's chosen blade—whose ascent draws the gaze of jealous warlords and schemers lurking in every shadowed alley. Uprisings must be crushed, oaths enforced, and enemies broken or bound, for there are a thousand ways for a city to die and only one path to keep it alive. Abraxia learns that terror can seize a throne, but lasting dominion demands something harsher: unbreakable will.
