Continue the immortal rivalry of two legendary Necrons with The Wicked and the Warped, a Warhammer 40,000 novel by Robert Rath. Trazyn the Infinite and Orikan the Diviner return for another clash of egos, intellect, and ancient ambition as a lost world from the Necrons’ past reappears in realspace.

Trazyn the Infinite is an obsessive historian and collector who preserves people, artifacts, and entire moments in his vast galleries. Orikan the Diviner is a master astromancer determined not merely to predict the future, but to reshape it. Their feud has endured for millennia, ruined worlds, and become inseparable from their immortal existence.

When the opening of the Great Rift returns the mysterious world of Amenthis to realspace, Trazyn sees an opportunity to investigate the fate of a lost expedition and perhaps even repair his fractured relationship with Orikan. But Amenthis has been corrupted by Chaos, and the secrets buried within its depths may prove dangerous even to two of the Necron race’s greatest minds.

The Wicked and the Warped is perfect for fans of Necron novels, Trazyn the Infinite, Orikan the Diviner, the Great Rift, Chaos-corrupted worlds, and Black Library science fiction. Written by the author of The Infinite and the Divine, this novel continues the sharp, destructive, and often darkly entertaining rivalry between two of Warhammer 40,000’s most memorable characters.
