Dead Winter
The story
More than a thousand years after the Age of Sigmar, the Empire he struggled to create rests on the edge of destruction – the reign of the greedy and incompetent Emperor Boris Goldgather has shaken down the great and prosperous edifice of his erstwhile realm. Without warning, a terrible and deadly plague strikes, wiping out entire villages and leaving towns eerily silent through the long frozen months. As the survivors struggle to maintain order and a worthy military presence, vermin pour up from the sewers and caverns beneath the cities, heralding a new and unspeakable threat – the insidious skaven!

Appropriately Legendary
Rated 5 out of 5 by Frank
I'm generally reluctant to be too enthusiastic about books, but this was an outright delight. (Well, unsurprisingly it's also horribly depressing, but nevertheless.) It's got a very decent cast of engaging characters, covers lots of interesting aspects & scenarios and it does so in a very well written manner. It carries both emotional impact and captures the magnitude of the chosen setting; it's an excellent start to the series and a really decent book on its own.
