The Slayer and his poet companion continue their adventures, aided by the Kislevite warrior-princess Ulrika, the wizard Max Schreiber and Gotrek's old comrade Snorri Nosebiter. Returning from their expedition to the distant north, Gotrek and Felix find themselves under attack by an army of monstrous greenskins - and a terrifying dragon. When an immense Chaos horde besieges Praag, the adventurers hasten to defend the beleaguered city - but the masters of the Chaos host have plans for Gotrek. When Ulrika, is captured by a dread vampire, the race is on to rescue her before she succumbs to the curse of undeath.
