The Coin Malleus: A Warhammer Age of Sigmar Anthology

Pledge Your Life to the Dawnbringer Crusades

Step into the grim and heroic world of the Coin Malleus, where taking the sacred coin means swearing your life, limbs, and even your death to the legendary Dawnbringer Crusades. This gripping anthology follows Fusil-Major Rosforth, a battle-hardened veteran who survived a devastating career-ending injury only to forge an extraordinary partnership that defies all expectations. Now he rides into combat mounted on Slobda, a fearsome ogor Maneater who has become his most unlikely friend and trusted companion. Their arrangement is brutally simple yet devastatingly effective: Rosforth provides the precision firepower while Slobda handles the carnage up close.

Experience the Courage of Mortal Heroes

While the Grand Alliance Order boasts countless legendary champions, none embody raw courage quite like the mortal defenders of the Cities of Sigmar. These warriors possess no supernatural powers or divine blessings—only pure grit, unwavering determination, and an unbreakable will to protect everything they hold dear. This collection of stories pulls back the curtain on what it truly means to stand against nightmarish foes that would shatter the sanity of lesser souls. Watch as ordinary people become extraordinary heroes, defending their families, friends, and entire way of life against monstrous beasts hellbent on reducing their civilization to rubble and ash.

Survive the Ravenous Skaven Hordes

Something sinister devours the Realm of Ghyran from within. The skaven have erupted across the land in numberless millions, a plague-infested tide of cunning, devious vermin consumed by insatiable hunger. Rosforth and Slobda must accomplish the impossible: lead a desperate band of traumatized survivors to safety while being relentlessly hunted by waves of diseased ratmen who attack with terrifying intelligence and overwhelming numbers. Every moment becomes a fight for survival as the duo faces down one of the most dangerous threats in the Mortal Realms.

Twelve Tales of Heroism and Horror

This comprehensive anthology delivers a full-length novella alongside eleven captivating short stories from acclaimed authors who bring the Age of Sigmar to visceral life. Journey through narratives that showcase the breadth and depth of warfare in the Mortal Realms, from intimate character studies to epic siege warfare. Each tale explores different facets of heroism, sacrifice, and the terrible cost of standing against the darkness.

From the Community:

The Cities of Sigmar are safe havens in the wild and chaotic Mortal Realms. To become part of the forces that protect them is to pledge one’s life and limbs to the cause. Few know this better than those who went on the Dawnbringer Crusades, but even those who decided to stay and protect their homes have suffered through many battles and tragedies. On the Shoulders of Giants and Other Stories contains the novella On the Shoulders of Giants by Adrian Tchaikovsky and 11 other short stories by authors Hal Wilson, Liane Merciel, Noah Van Nguyen, Anna Stephens, and more.

It will be available to order in paperback next week.
