![]() ![]() ![]() The lure of freedom driving him on to test his considerable might against the greatest challenges he has ever faced. When a shaman of the Kurgan tribes, Zarnath, comes from the East seeking an audience with the Chaos Champion, promising to devise for him a ritual that will free him of his curse in exchange for various artifacts of dark origin in the possession of even darker races, the Wanderer, against the advice of his bondsmen, agrees to slay the Kurgan's enemies. Yet the king's ambitions drive him to bargain the princess away to secure an oath of peace and alliance with the barbaric Aeslings, the traditional enemies of the Sarl tribe. His greatest wish to break free of their chains and return to his own personal quest for kingship over the Sarls and for the hand of his greatest love, Hjordis, daughter of Viglundr, king of the Sarls and Chosen of Tzeentch. Yet in his deepest heart, Wulfrik despises his curse, and despises even more those who think it a blessing and the Dark Gods who have brought him to such an end. As his legend grows, raiders from Norsca and even further afield come to pledge their swords to his warband, hungering for the chance to fight alongside one so favoured by the Gods, and in the hopes that they might catch some of his greatness. Cursed to an eternity of violent battle at the capricious whims of the Dark Gods of the Norscans for a proud, albeit drunken, boast, the dark warrior now sails the seas of the world in search for the most vicious adversaries to pit his sword-arm against that he might prove his strength before his infernal masters. Set in the savage, Chaos-tainted Northlands of the Warhammer world, Wulfrik tells the saga of the eponymous hero - the legendary Chaos Champion, Wulfrik the Wanderer of the Sarls. Werner (of Brunner the Bounty Hunter and Grey Seer fame) is an installment in the Warhammer Heroes range of novels by Black Library, which, as you can probably tell from the name, are a series of novels which center around the various Special Characters from the Tabletop Game itself (yes, Warhammer existed long before 40K was a glint in the collective eyes of the execs at GW). ![]()
