In the dark, haunted underworld of Shaisha, a vengeful Slayer seeks out the Lord of the Undead. Gotrek Gurnisson returns, his vows unbroken since the world that was, his fury undimmed. The hunt, under the sign of the master rune of Grimnir, who betrayed the god Gortek, joined by Maleneth Witchblade, the former Daughter of Khaine, who became an agent of the Order of Azir, covers the entire territory of the Kingdom of Death. Will Gotrek find his way to the Immortal King or will the underworlds join his soul to the ranks of their dead?
