Unleashed Legends: Sacred Charge – A HORDES Novelette

Among the skorne, death and glory are often the same thing.

At the command of Archdomina Makeda, the great Army of the Western Reaches pushes farther into the uncharted lands of the west. Those skorne who fight for the archdomina face enemies stranger than any they’ve encountered before, but with each foe comes a chance at glory and exaltation.

When three warriors are cut off from the main army after an ambush by a new and deadly enemy, they become the sole protectors of a most precious cargo: sacral stones containing the vital essence of skorne who died bravely in combat. These survivors must overcome their differences in rank and the rigid skorne caste system, band together, and fight their way back to safety. But one among them harbors a terrible secret, one that may cost them their honor, their lives, and even their very souls.

Unleashed Legends: Blood in the Water – A HORDES Novelette

Something huge and hungry stalks the Cloutsdown Fen.

In northern Cygnar, the Gnasir make their living fishing the marsh. But when they become the prey of a savage monster thought to be little more than a legend, they are forced to turn to outsiders to save their people from the relentless horror. An unlikely trio assembles to combat the menace: the bog trog mystic Lurk, the gatorman sharpshooter Longchops, and the famous monster hunter Alten Ashley. In the end, they may not be able to save the Gnasir—in fact, they may not even be able to save themselves.

Through the Darkness: The Story of Machinations (with William Shick) – A WARMACHINE Novella

Fear breeds the unlikeliest of allies . . .

The mercenary Rutger Shaw doesn’t have many friends, but to the ones he’s earned he’s loyal to the death. That’s just what his partner Taryn di la Rovissi is afraid of, and it’s one reason she’s not thrilled when Rutger dodges another contract so they can help out his old Steelhead captain, Brunner Ainsworth. Together with Brunner, Rutger and Taryn join a Highborn army and march to liberate the Llaelese town of Dunlyf from Khadoran oppressors. Yet the mercenary force finds Dunlyf deserted, with no sign of its people or what happened to them and its buildings strangely intact.

When Brunner’s squad goes missing as well, Rutger and Taryn’s search leads them to stumble across an old enemy, Harlan Versh, a zealous witch hunter and member of the infamous Order of Illumination. It soon becomes clear that a mysterious evil is plaguing this region and Harlan Versh may be able to help the mercenaries track down their friend and the missing people of Dunlyf. A tenuous alliance is struck, and Rutger, Taryn, and Harlan Versh begin to uncover clues that point to a vast and deadly threat lurking beneath their feet.
