Path of the Renegade
The Story
For millennia, Asdrubael Vect has ruled the dark city of Commorragh, crushing any who dare to cross him. His reach is long and his position unassailable... or so he thinks. Yllithian, an ambitious archon with the desire to unseat the tyrant, joins forces with a twisted haemonculus in an attempt to revive a long-dead warrior and challenge the might of the overlord, both racing to achieve their goal before Vect discovers their treachery. But a cataclysm is coming, and Yllithian’s actions may in fact be the cause...
About the book
Andy Chambers returns to the Black Library with the first novel in a new dark eldar trilogy, exploring the dark kin and their ominous city in unprecedented detail.
"Masterful stuff. The city of Commorragh comes to seething, malignant life in this triumphant celebration of Dark Eldar lore. Scheming archons ally with sensual Succubi and sinister Haemonculi in a jagged web of paranoia and bloodletting so compelling I was caught in its hooks from the start. This book is as rich, complex and black-hearted as the connoisseurs of pain that haunt its pages – faint-hearted readers beware!" - Phil Kelly, author of Codex: Dark Eldar

Dark, Creepy and Awesome
Rated 5 out of 5 by J-P
This is easily one of my favorite 40k books, and I've read most of them. Chambers ties the action of this novel solidly to the background section of the DE Codex, giving 40K players a great entry point into hobby projects and scenarios involving the Dark Kin, but also giving the entire book a wonderful sense of depth and setting for those who simply enjoy reading about it. With locales ranging from Comorragh, to the webway, and to points even stranger, any 40K fan will enjoy a darn good story while peeking behind the veil of the 41st millennium just a little bit more. 5 stars.
Exactly how I pictured the Dark City
Rated 5 out of 5 by Alexander
Andy Chambers wrote everything about the Dark Eldar just like I pictured them. the book is full of sinister plots and has a air of the "you cant trust anyone". with tourture and hedonism being the norm it is everpresent in this book and the story complements the fluff greatly. Fans will never want to put the book down as they experience Commoragh like never before.
