The Hammers of Sigmar face a new foe as they seek to cleanse the Crucible of Blood, and the Celestant-Prime strikes for the first time in a pair of tales from the Mortal Realms.

READ IT BECAUSE
The Celestant-Prime makes his first appearance in Black Library's Warhammer Age of Sigmar fiction! And as the God-King's champion battles his foes for the first time, he tries to make sense of who he is, what his purpose is and why he's worthy of wielding the might of Ghal Maraz.

THE STORY
Amongst all of the Stormhosts, none are more vaunted than the Hammers of Sigmar. Forged first upon the Anvil of the Apotheosis, their Warrior Chambers are exemplars of Sigmar’s glory. In the shadow of the Nomad City, the mettle of the Stormbound is tested against the hordes of Khorne in the battle to sanctify the Crucible of Blood, a gateway to Chaos and madness. Within the ranks of the Stormcast Eternals, there is one who is greater than all others. He is the Celestant-Prime, Sigmar’s Storm made manifest. For centuries he slumbered, until the great hammer of Sigmar, Ghal Maraz, was returned and he rose again. But a warrior born must still be tempered, and so unto the swamps of Krahl does Sigmar cast his scion to destroy a powerful creature called the Prismatic King.
