Inferno! Volume 2 – in the Authors’ Words

After many years in the wilderness, September 2018 saw the return of Inferno! to Black Library, with a new format – a paperback anthology instead of the old magazine format – and a load of cool new stories.

RAPID FIRE: William King Talks The Tyrion and Teclis Omnibus

Welcome to this instalment of Rapid Fire, my ongoing series of quick interviews with Black Library authors talking about their new releases. These are short and sweet interviews, with the idea being that each author will answer (more or less) the same questions – by the end of each interview I hope you will have a good idea of what the new book (or audio drama) is about, what inspired it and why you might want to read or listen to it.

For this instalment I spoke to legendary Black Library author William King about the latest Warhammer Chronicles release, The Tyrion and Teclis Omnibus – which collects together his classic novels Blood of Aenarion, Sword of Caledor and Bane of Malekith. Read on to delve back into the earlier days of the High Elves in the Warhammer Old World, and then don’t forget to go out and grab your copy of the book, as it’s available to order right now.
