Grombrindal, the legendary White Dwarf, is returning in a brand-new Black Library novel titled Grombrindal: Ancestor’s Burden by Chris Thursten. Set in the Mortal Realms, this will be Grombrindal’s first full-length novel appearance after surviving the destruction of the World-that-Was. In this new tale, the ancient duardin warrior takes a stand to defend the sky-city of Barak-Thyrng, which is under siege by a crazed horde of Gloomspite Gitz hunting the Bad Moon.
The story is complicated further by the machinations of Tzeentch, the Changer of the Ways, who manipulates events from the shadows, adding a layer of dark intrigue. Grombrindal is not alone in his efforts, as he is accompanied by the Oathbreakers, a group of duardin burdened with an individual cursed by the Ancestor’s Burden, which promises additional mystery and character depth to the narrative.
This novel, packed with action and intrigue, will appeal to fans of duardin lore and those who love a good battle against overwhelming odds. Chris Thursten has previously written about Grombrindal in a White Dwarf serial, giving him the perfect grounding to expand on the character’s adventures in this novel. For long-time Grombrindal fans, Grombrindal: Chronicles of the Wanderer by David Guymer is another great source for earlier tales about this wandering warrior.
If you enjoy stories of warriors driven by their oaths, Chris Thursten’s previous novel, Darkoath: A Gunnar Brand Novel, is also worth a read, diving into the life of another relentless fighter. Grombrindal: Ancestor’s Burden promises to be an exciting addition to the library of those who follow the exploits of the indomitable White Dwarf and the ever-tense battles within the Mortal Realms.
