Book 4 in Tales of Malus Darkblade series (2007)
Publisher: Black Library
In the world of Warhammer, no race is as cruel and treacherous as the dark elves, and no member of this race is more infamous than Malus Darkblade. His soul taken forfeit by a daemon, Darkblade must now seek the legendary Warpsword of Khaine or be forever damned.
A member of the dark elf race, Darkblade’s reputation as a warrior is beyond compare and his cruelty is legendary – even by the standards of the dark elves.
Having been possessed by the foul daemon Tz’arkan, Malus undertakes a perilous quest to regain five magical artefacts that will free his soul or damn him forever!
As if Malus’ life hasn’t been complicated enough already, now he has to contend with the dread guardians of Har Ganeth and risk the, er, less than tender mercies of the Cult of Khaine if his quest is to continue.
