A Rivalry That Spans the Age of the Universe

Before the Emperor walked among humanity, before the aeldari rose to dominance, before the necrontyr surrendered their flesh for immortal metal — the seeds of one of the galaxy’s greatest rivalries were already being sown. Robert Rath’s masterful Warhammer 40,000 novel follows Trazyn the Infinite and Orikan the Diviner across millennia of scheming, betrayal, and obsession, in a story that reshapes timelines and ends civilisations.

Two Obsessives, One Dangerous Artefact

Trazyn is an unparalleled collector, the curator of a vast gallery filled with the most dangerous relics and individuals the galaxy has ever produced. Orikan is a chronomancer of terrifying precision, a diviner who draws zodiacs that bend the future to his will. These two could not be more different — yet when an artefact surfaces that may hold the key to the next evolution of the necron race, they are drawn into a multi-millennia game of cat and mouse with everything at stake. Timelines are rewritten. Civilisations fall. And neither will ever be the same.

An Illustrated and Annotated Edition Like No Other

This is far more than a reprint. The illustrated and annotated hardback edition of The Infinite and the Divine is a collector’s object in its own right, lavishly produced with a presentation that matches the grandeur of its subject matter. A soft-touch matt cover with gloss details sets the tone, while bronze foil designs on the front cover, bright lime green page edges, and a matching green ribbon bookmark make it unmistakable on any shelf.

Inside, a new author introduction gives fresh context to the story, while 15 specially commissioned interior illustrations bring the characters and their world to vivid life. Perhaps most impressively, 242 offset boxout annotations are woven throughout the text, deepening the lore and rewarding readers at every turn.

From the Community:

Though Trazyn the Infinite and Orikan the Diviner are both Necron nobility, they have been polar opposites since the days of the flesh-bearing Necrontyr. While they are each obsessed with their particular specialties and convinced of their own superiority, together they may hold the secret to saving their entire race – if they can hold off trying to delete each other from existence long enough to realise.
