White Dwarf 127
My new Phoenix Lords novel – Jain Zar: The Storm of Silence – is released on Saturday. Those who have managed to get their hands on a copy already, may have noticed my dedication:
“To Jes, Andy and Rick, for WD127.”
For those of you who weren’t reading White Dwarf 27 years ago (gulp!), issue 127 contained 41 pages of Eldar goodness, drawn from the minds of Jes Goodwin, Andy Chambers and Rick Priestley. It’s what caused my 14-year old self to fall in love with the Eldar, and has inspired every Eldar story I’ve written since.
If you are unlucky enough to have never seen White Dwarf 127, you can see the entire Eldar section below. Many thanks to @Bishmeister who came to my rescue and scanned in the pages – my copy of WD127 is currently stashed away in storage while we have some building work done. Incidentally, @Bishmeister is definitely worth following on Twitter for his #Warhammerflashbackfriday posts, as well as general hobby-related stuff.
Jain Zar: The Storm of Silence will be available as eBook, MP3, hardback, and a very beautiful Limited Edition.
“The eldar are an ancient race whose mode of war blends spirituality with a unique mastery of technology. In times of need, their entire race will rouse to war – led by terrifying, almost mythological figures – the phoenix lords, immortal beings embody the warrior nature of the eldar. A swift and deadly fighter, Jain Zar can harness the rage of her scream to slaughter any who dare oppose her.
When a burgeoning ork empire starts to pose a threat to the eldar peoples, Jain Zar travels to the craftworld Ulthwé to warn them of the danger. However, she finds her plans to divert disaster are opposed by one of the craftworld’s own seers, Eldrad. With so many futures possible, which path should the eldar walk to avert destruction of their craftworlds and put an end to the greenskin menace?”
