The End Times are coming. In the dark elf city of Har Ganeth, witch elves and Executioners fight running battles in the streets against the blood-mad servants of Khorne, commanded by Tullaris Dreadbringer, the herald of bloody-handed Khaine. As Death Night approaches, the Hag Queen Hellebron prepares to reclaim her youth and vigour and join the fray, but sinister forces seek to prevent her, and only Tullaris stands between her and death – but will he aid her or let her enemies claim her head?
