Warhammer Age of Sigmar
Rulers of the Dead
A Warhammer Age of Sigmar omnibus
The dead of the Mortal Realms serve one will alone: that of Nagash. But alongside the Great Necromancer are his Mortarchs, who spread his word and do his bidding. Foremost among them is Neferata, the Blood Queen, whose one ambitions and schemes are ever at the forefront of her mind even as she serves her dark master…
READ IT BECAUSE
These two fantastic novels delve into life (and unlife) in the Realm of Shyish, exploring the people of the Realm of Death and their devotion to their undying masters, as well as the schemes and plans of these immortal powers.
DESCRIPTION
The forces of Death serve one master alone, Nagash, the Great Necromancer. Openly opposed to the warriors of Sigmar since the devastating Necroquake unleashed untamed magic throughout the realms, Nagash’s most powerful servants command legions of undead soldiers that can erode civilisations through centuries of war, turning the deceased against their descendants. Yet, even united under Nagash, endless scheming remains among the Lords of Death. None embody this more than Nagash’s Mortarch of Blood, Neferata, Queen of the Vampires.
CONTENTS
Nagash: The Undying King by Josh Reynolds
The Realm of Death is an inhospitable place, but even here humanity ekes out an existence. Many turn to Nagash to survive, but in the Undying King, convinced he’s abandoned them, Tamra, ruler of the Rictus clans and her tribe fight a desperate battle for survival against the relentless minions of the Plague God.
Neferata: Mortarch of Blood by David Annandale
In the shadows of Nuhlamia, through guile and terror, Neferata rules absolutely. However, faced with a betrayal that spans generations of the Mortal Realms, Neferata is determined to emerge triumphant using any means at her disposal.

Nagash: the undying king was a good read I really enjoyed it unfortunately the second story Neferata: Mortarch of blood really wasn't that interesting I couldn't finish it and I tried, I ended up putting it down after a hundred or so pages.

I found it easier to finish the second story despite it jumping timeline. It is short and intense. I found i am struggling to finish the first one, as the lead character is so weak and indecisive.

Zwei Geschichten in einem Band, die zusammen eine Durchschnittsbewertung ergeben. Denn die erste Geschichte mochte ich sehr, die zweite weniger. Wobei das daran liegt, dass ich mit Vampiren einfach nichts anfangen kann. Handwerkstechnisch hat Annandale nichts falsch gemacht.
Aber mir gefielen die Beschreibungen von offenen Wunden, Würmern und anderen ekligen Krankheitsmerkmalen irgendwie besser. Ach ja, wer über einen schwachen Magen verfügt, sollte diesen Text Reynolds nicht lesen. Oder das Buch. Oder überhaupt etwas von Warhammer ;)
