'Warrior Priest' is written in a very interesting manner, which combines the elements of both an investigation-type story with a military fiction. Will they be able to stop his heresy from spreading further?

But the villian is both resourcefull and cunning, as is expected from the follower of the Great Changer, and soon Jakob and his allies realise, that Fabian possesses huge amount of power in the province of Ostland. Shocked and appalled, Wolff vows to find his sibling and bring him to justice for his crimes. It was Jakob's brother, Fabian, who was guilty of the ultimate sin of chaos worshipping. As it turns out, they weren't guilty of the heresy that got them sent to the stake. Wolff has a personal score to settle down with Surman, who was responsible for the deaths of his parents, many years ago. We are first introduced to the them, when the holy duo stops a mad wannabe Witch Hunter, Otto Sürman, from burning Anna, a young priestess of Shallya. Accompanying him is Ratboy, his faithful servant, who owns his life to the Warrior Priest. He's on a dire mission to track his erstwhile brother, who decided to sell his soul to Ruinous Powers. The main protagonist of this story is Jakob Wolff, a holy man in the service to Sigmar, the founder of the Empire and its chief deity. Fortunately, once again my choice has been a right one, as 'Warrior Priest' was easily one of the best Warhammer Fantasy books that I've ever read.

Like I've said, there's something undeniably cool about those type of heroes, so I did not hesitate in picking up the 'Warrior Priest' novel, written by Darius Hinks, which also granted him the Morningstar 2011 award (David Gemmell Legend Awards). That's why I have 4 Warrior Priests of Sigmar in my Warhammer Army, alongside a priest of Morr and a of Myrmidia. Funny, since personally I'm not a very religious or spiritual man, but for some reason, in almost every fictional universe, the idea of holy men and women fighting evil in the name of their gods, appeals to me.
