The Sundering (PB) is a Black Library paperback novel omnibus, part of the Warhammer: The Old World / Warhammer Chronicles range, written by Gav Thorpe.
This mighty collection gathers the classic trilogy Malerion, Shadow King and Caledor, together with the additional novella The Bloody-Handed and the short story The Dark Path, telling the complete tale of the war that tore the elven race apart and changed the fate of the Old World forever.
When treachery strikes, the elven kingdom of Ulthuan is plunged into bitter civil war. At the heart of the conflict stands Malerion, betrayer and usurper whose ambitions ignite a struggle that will divide the elves for generations and see him become the Witch King. Opposing him is Alith Anar, the relentless Shadow King, driven by vengeance against the traitorous Druchii, while Caledor, a reluctant leader, may be the only one capable of holding back the darkness and restoring peace to Ulthuan.
For the first time, this edition lets readers experience part of the story through Malerion's own eyes before his fall, offering a deeper look at the figure who would become the Witch King, alongside the fates of the Phoenix King and Shadow King whose deeds became legend.
Spanning centuries and a full civil war, this epic omnibus is essential reading for anyone wanting the definitive account of the elven Sundering and the roots of the eternal enmity between High Elves and Dark Elves.
