The first novels based upon the award-winning WARMACHINE® steam-powered fantasy wargame and the world of the Iron Kingdoms™ Role Playing Game!

he Iron Kingdoms are at war—a war fought with T machine guns and magic, knights of valor, and earth-shaking titans of steam and steel. And now that war may hinge entirely on nothing more than a sheaf of papers. An alchemical formula, stolen by an ally they thought they could trust, could cost the brave soldiers of Cygnar everything. Their only hope: a cunning spy, a knight out of her element, and a frighteningly small unit of the best that Cygnar has to offer.

Cover Illustration by Jon Sullivan Arrayed against them is not only a single, devious enemy, but the com- bined intelligence apparatus—and possibly the full military might—of the most brutal martial power Cygnar has ever known.

he Beast is coming. His- tory will be remade. T Since the assassination of Queen Victoria in 1840, a cabal of prominent men—including King George V, HRH Prince Albert, Benjamin Disraeli, and Isambard Kingdom Brunel—has received guidance from the Afterlife. The spirit of a dead mystic, Abdu El Yezdi, has helped them to steer the empire into a period of unprece- dented peace and creativity. But on the eve of a groundbreak- ing alliance with the newly formed Greater German Confederation, scientists, surgeons, and engineers Cover Illustration by Jon Sullivan are being abducted—including Brunel! The government, in search of answers, turns to the Afterlife, only to find that Abdu El Yezdi is now refusing to speak with the living. Enter the newly-knighted Sir Richard Francis Burton, fresh from his discovery of the source of the Nile. Appointed the king’s agent, he must trace the missing luminaries (Cover in progress) and solve the mystery of Abdu El Yezdi’s silence. But the Beast has been summoned. How can the famous explorer fulfill his mission when his friends and loved ones are being picked off, one by one, by what appears to be a su- pernatural entity—by, perhaps, Abdu El Yezdi himself?
