A Question of Faith

Synopsis

The Empire of Sigmar is in crisis. The Black Plague sweeps across the lands, killing indiscriminately and some unscrupulous folk try to turn the tragedy that follows the disease into a way to earn a profit. When a self-proclaimed 'plague doktor' arrives in Helmstedt offering to protect the people (for a price), the Sigmarite priest Father Anton makes some startling – and life-threatening – discoveries about the nature of the plague... Read it because While the Black Plague trilogy focuses on the great heroes and epic events of that troubled time, this story takes a narrower view, looking at the effect of the skaven's schemes on the common man and asking how faith in the God-King can possibly be maintained when He has so clearly forsaken His people.
