The new Black Library novel Throne Questoris puts you in the Throne Mechanicum of an ancient war machine on a quest to defend a dying world.
Though knightly scion Asrien Balateur is only moments away from claiming the throne that is their birthright, the land itself is being swallowed by mysterious snowstorms, and Imperial Knights are disappearing among shattered castles and ravaged realms.
The petty squabbles of quarrelsome barons and pressures of a king’s court are no longer the biggest of Asrien’s worries. Madness rises from the planet’s murky past, and only the future king can hope to rally the land against debts long since forgotten.
The land moves, and the Winter Knight rides.
With a combination of posturing, intrigue, and action, Throne Questoris by Victoria Hayward offers fresh ways to explore the 41st Millennium.
And it’s not the only Warhammer 40,000 novel that we’re showing off today.
The classic novel Cypher: Lord of the Fallen by John French is the next release in Black Library’s line of Illustrated and Annotated Editions. Relive the enigmatic rogue’s escape from Holy Terra with a new introduction from the author and commentary throughout, brightened up by all-new illustrations that really set the scene for Cypher’s flight.
Ben Counter’s Grey Knights is also returning to the Black Library in a new, suitably ornate Special Edition.
This novel is one of the finest windows into the day-to-day of the Grey Knights Chapter and their eternal war against the empyrean. A mortally wounded daemonhunter banishes a powerful daemon back to the Warp for a thousand years, but as we know, that’s not necessarily a long time on the scale of Warhammer 40,000.
A thousand years is up, and Ghargatuloth is back for more havoc, but he didn’t contend on one thing – a waiting party of Grey Knights who knew exactly when and where their quarry would arrive. Unfortunately for the knights of Titan, the daemon’s return is part of a perilous prophecy, and their task will be a little more complicated than simply gunning the offending heretic down.
All three of these books will be available to pre-order soon. In the meantime, get started on reading about Imperial Knights with Kingsblade, Knightsblade, and Knights of the Imperium – all available now on the Black Library app.
