The Black Library: Novedades | Septiembre 2012

Estas son las novedades que la editorial inglesa The Black Library ha puesto a la venta este mes. Como editorial ligada a la editora de juegos Games Workshop, no es de extrañar que todo lo que se publique entre sus páginas esté relacionado con los dos universos de "Warhammer", el de fantasía épica –Warhammer Fantasy– y el de ciencia-ficción –Warhammer 40.000. Entre sus últimas novedades contamos con la vigesimoprimera entrega de la serie superventas "La Herejía de Horus", con Fear to Tread, de James Swallow, serie de la que Timun Mas publicará en castellano durante el mes de octubre la decimonovena entrega: La Batalla de Calth. También en "Warhammer 40.000" se publica la tercera y última entrega de la trilogía de Gav Thorpe "Path of the Eldar", mientras que en "Warhammer Fantasy" recibimos un sólo título, a saber Orion: The Vault of Winter, de Darius Hinks, donde Orion, el rey de los bosques de Athel Loren, renace cada primavera para ocupar su trono, salvo que esta ocasión el bosque entero ha sido corrompido por fuerzas siniestras.

Estos títulos no se encuentran por el momento entre los planes editoriales de Timun Mas. Más información de las novedades:

At the heart the wood elf kingdom of Athel Loren, the forest-king Orion slumbers through the winter months to be reborn each spring and resume his arboreal throne. However, this year he awakens to discover a foul canker at the core of his eternal spirit – he has been cursed, though by whom and for what reason he does not know. In the grip of a furious rage he leads the asrai to war, but as the corruption spreads to the woodland realm around him, he feels his power waning and must rely upon his loyal subjects to help him unmask the traitor within their ranks.

Since the earliest days of the Great Crusade, Sanguinius – angelic primarch of the IXth Legion – was ever among the closest and most loyal of Horus’s brothers. But the Blood Angels have long kept their true nature hidden from the rest of the Imperium, and when the Warmaster hints that the key to their salvation may lie in the ruins of a conquered world, the sons of Sanguinius race to claim it. Now, as the revelation of their betrayal dawns and the traitors’ hand is revealed, the Blood Angels must face all the warp-spawned armies of Chaos, as well their own personal daemons, upon the blasted plains of Signus Prime...
