The Ambassador Chronicles

Synopsis

A City in the wilderness...Chaos at the gates...A killer on the loose...A retired warrior takes up the sword once more...Collected for the first time in one volume, this great value omnibus contains both of Graham McNeill's epic fantasy novels The Ambassador and Ursun's Teeth. A darkness creeps over the Old World. Everything is tainted with despair and decay. Fear and superstition rule the lives of the faceless masses, and in the shadows, the foul gods of Chaos gibber and shriek, dreaming of the day when all living things bow to them. With his military career coming to an end, General Kasper von Velten thinks he's been put out to pasture when his new assignment as an ambassador to the distant frozen land of Kislev comes through. However, with the unspeakable hordes of Chaos at the walls and a brutal killer at loose in the city, it looks like this may not be the quiet retirement that he expected. Kaspar must use all his skills as a warrior and a statesman to survive.
