Evan Dicken’s Blood of the Bastion has moved onto Black Library’s forthcoming hardback preorder slate. The October 25 Sunday Preview supplies the next availability milestone for the first full-length novel centred on Grand Cathay’s warriors. Veteran soldier Yao Kai has earned command at the Snake Gate, only to discover
a Chaos conspiracy threatening the Great Bastion from inside. Dicken’s earlier author interview describes a mortal perspective on north-eastern Cathay, with family obligations, lost status and military danger intertwined. That reveal previously left preorders at 'coming soon'; the new preview places the hardback in the
next preorder wave, without giving a price in the article. Official source. Image credit: Games Workshop / Black Library; official edition promotional photograph.
