In the cold wastes of the North, the followers of Chaos gather in their thousands, eager to lay waste to the soft lands of the south. These bloodthirsty, undisciplined warriors can only be controlled by the fiercest of leaders – champions who have risen through the ranks by dint of their infamous deeds to become the favoured of the Dark Gods. This omnibus collects together the stories of three such mighty leaders – Prince Sigvald the Magnificent, the Gorequeen of Khorne Valkia the Bloody, and the rogue wizard Egrimm van Horstmann. And be warned: though the journey to greatness is long and hard, the battle to maintain such a position of power amid the servants of Chaos is never-ending... This omnibus contains the novels Valkia the Bloody by Sarah Cawkwell, Sigvald by Darius Hinks and Van Horstmann by Ben Counter, along with additional bonus short stories.
Orion is the king of the forest, the lord of Athel Loren and the guardian spirit of all that is dear to the Asrai, the mysterious Wood Elves. In three novels, he confronts old enemies and new dangers, and must appeal to all his powers and allies to ensure the safety of his ancient forest, and his own.
Every year, after winter, King Orion wakes up and reigns over the forest kingdom of Athel Loren. This time though, as he slowly comes out of his torpor, he realizes that a terrible evil has taken hold of him, and that his eternal mind has been cursed. Taken of an uncontrollable rage, he leads his Asrai to the war in order to discover who is there the origin of this plot. But as corruption spreads and his powers diminish, he will have to put his fate in the hands of his most loyal subjects, and entrust them with the mission of unmasking the traitors hiding among their ranks.
