The Remnant Blade (Paperback)

Warhammer 40,000 Novel: Night Lords Rivalry and Ruin

Cast down and bloodied, Dalchian Rassaq—known as the Skin‑Taker and once master of the Blades of Atrocity—teeters on the brink of oblivion. Betrayal has shattered his power, and a despised rival now directs the remnants of his Night Lords warband toward extinction. Hemmed in by predatory "allies" and ruthless enemies alike, Dalchian faces rebellion within his own ranks as the last warriors loyal to him splinter into open defiance. To survive, he must outmaneuver insurrection, master the knives at his back, and seize any chance to reclaim command before he is erased from the annals of the 41st Millennium.

The Story: Heretic Astartes Intrigue in the Grimdark

When whispers of a ghost‑ship drifting through the void reach the Skin‑Taker, Dalchian recognizes an opportunity to reclaim what was stolen and deliver vengeance to those who wronged him. With little more than a renegade tech‑priest, his own iron will, and the infamous cruelty of the Night Lords at his side, he embarks on a perilous gambit. Among the most merciless of the Heretic Astartes, politics is warfare by other means—every alliance a trap, every promise a blade. Dalchian must turn rival against rival, quell rebellion, and prove that his legend is not yet spent. The Skin‑Taker's resolve is no trifling thing, and his blades still hunger.
