Black Library is back at it, teasing fans with new books and expanding the lore in ways only the Warhammer universe can.
While we’ve already had a few releases this year, there’s more to come, including exciting new stories from the Space Wolves, Necrons, and the terrifying Night Lords. These upcoming books promise to deepen the tales of iconic factions and characters, offering fresh sagas, ancient secrets, and chilling villainy. Let’s take a closer look at what’s in store.
Krakenblood: The Saga of Ivar Krakenblood and His Impossible Quest
First up, we have Krakenblood by Marc Collins, diving deep into the legendary tales of the Space Wolves. This story follows Ivar Krakenblood, a Wolf Priest, who is tasked by none other than Ulrik the Slayer to lead a band of warriors on a perilous mission. Their goal? To retrieve a sacred relic of the Chapter and face impossible threats along the way. This is pure Space Wolves saga material—riddled with lore, ancient battles, and the kind of epic journey that could easily be passed down through generations of warriors. Fans of the Space Wolves will no doubt appreciate the deep connection to their saga-rich culture, making this a must-read for those who revel in the grimdark tales of these ferocious warriors.
The Necron Tale: The Duty of Khemet
Next, we have a fascinating new story from the ancient Necrons. Tomb World by Jonathan D. Beer takes us into the depths of Necron society, where long-forgotten ambitions and betrayals bubble to the surface. Khemet, a Triarch Praetorian, has stood watch over her tomb world for millions of years, but with the Necrons waking up, old rivalries resurface. Now, burdened by the shame of a past failure, Khemet must fight to restore her honor and reclaim her status within Necron society. This tale promises to be rich in Necron lore, with a character-driven plot that explores the complexities of their ancient empire, making it a compelling read for fans eager to learn more about these enigmatic beings.
The Skin-Taker: A Night Lords Tale of Cunning and Revenge
Finally, we have The Remnant Blade by Mike Vincent, a story set in the twisted world of the Night Lords. This book follows Dalchian Rassaq, the former lord of the Blades of Atrocity, who is left for dead after being deposed by his rivals. As a new threat rises against the Night Lords, Dalchian must rely on cunning and trickery to outsmart his enemies and reclaim his position. Along the way, he may find an unexpected ally in a renegade tech-priest and a mysterious phantom voidship. With the Night Lords known for their dramatic and sinister monologues, The Remnant Blade will likely deliver the kind of chilling, villainous drama that fans of these dark warriors crave.
Conclusion: A Year of New Stories and Expanding Lore
With Krakenblood, The Duty of Khemet, and The Remnant Blade all lined up for release later this year, Black Library fans have a lot to look forward to. Whether you’re drawn to the heroic sagas of the Space Wolves, the ancient intrigue of the Necrons, or the villainous plots of the Night Lords, these stories promise to expand the universe in exciting new ways. Keep an eye out for release dates in the coming months, and make sure to grab these new books as soon as they drop. It’s going to be a thrilling ride, and I can’t wait to dive into these new Warhammer tales.
