Cold Covenant is a Warhammer 40,000 novel from Black Library, written by Peter Fehervari, presented here in hardback format (BL3351).
The 27th Halgarth Brine Dogs are not among the Astra Militarum's finest. After months stationed on Oblazt, a remote planet ruled by a corrupt aristocracy, the regiment is finally due to depart for a new war zone. Morale is low, and few of the Brine Dogs carry the zeal expected of Humanity's defenders. When they discover their next posting is a death world, four of them — three hardened veterans and an enigmatic enginseer — hatch a plan to desert rather than face it.
Their choice sets off a spiral of tragedy and terror that will cast a long shadow, for the frozen world they leave behind harbours a primal darkness of its own. On Oblazt, wickedness never fades, and the ghosts of the planet refuse to be silenced.
A grim, atmospheric addition to Black Library's catalogue of Astra Militarum fiction, Cold Covenant offers a close look at an ordinary, unglamorous regiment under extraordinary pressure — and what happens to soldiers who turn away from the God-Emperor's cause. This hardback edition is a must for readers of Warhammer 40,000 fiction and fans of Peter Fehervari's distinctive, horror-tinged take on the grim darkness of the far future.
