Synopsis

In the dark and gothic Warhammer world, the foul magic of Chaos is everywhere, its corrupting and mutating powers twisting man and beast alike. From the south, the dark armies of the Undead attack the realms of man, thirsting to drain all life from the land. From the north, the endless hordes of Chaos sweep down from the wastelands and destroy in the name of their Dark Gods. Swords of the Empire is a storming collection of short stories including a brand new Storm of Chaos novella by the award-winning Dan Abnett and a new Zavant short story by Gordon Rennie!
