The Empire of Sigmar is in crisis. The Black Plague sweeps across the lands, killing indiscriminately and some unscrupulous folk try to turn the tragedy that follows the disease into a way to earn a profit. When a self-proclaimed 'plague doktor' arrives in Helmstedt offering to protect the people (for a price), the Sigmarite priest Father Anton makes some startling – and life-threatening – discoveries about the nature of the plague... Read it because While the Black Plague trilogy focuses on the great heroes and epic events of that troubled time, this story takes a narrower view, looking at the effect of the skaven's schemes on the common man and asking how faith in the God-King can possibly be maintained when He has so clearly forsaken His people.
