Synopsis

A Cities of Sigmar Anthology To take the Coin Malleus is to pledge one's life, limbs, and death to the Dawnbringer Crusades. Fusil-Major Rosforth knows this better than most. Following an almost career-ending injury, he now rides into battle atop Slobda – ogor, Maneater and fierce, unlikely friend. Their bond is Rosforth shoots, Slobda eats. READ IT BECAUSE While Grand Alliance Order features many heroic figures, few are as noble as the mortal defenders of the Cities of Sigmar, fighting on through pure grit and determination. These stories offer insight into what it must be like to face down foes that would drive others mad, defending one's family, friends, and way of life against beasts and monsters who want nothing more than to tear your home to shreds. THE STORY Something gnaws at the Realm of Ghyran. The skaven have come in their millions, and Rosforth and Slobda must somehow lead a despondent band of survivors to safety, relentlessly pursued by plague-infested tides of devious, ravenous vermin. – On the Shoulders of Giants , by Adrian Tchaikovsky – The Wanderer , by Hal Wilson – Hounds , by Christopher Allen – Roadwarden , by Liane Merciel – Murder by Moonlight , by Noah Van Nguyen – The Manse of Mirrors , by Nick Horth – Past Returns , by Hal Wilson – False Dawn , by Christopher Allen – River of Death , by Anna Stephens – The Siege of Greenspire , by Anna Stephens – The Book of Transformations , by Matt Keefe – The Nameless , by Hal Wilson
