Oltyx was once heir to an entire dynasty, destined to command legions of noble warriors.  Now he is an exile, living out a feeble existence on the miserable world of Sedh, leading a dwindling cabal of warriors against the interminable appetites of rampaging orks.

Determined to reclaim his birthright, Oltyx returns to the heart of the court that cast him out, and so begins a journey of profound discovery, the secrets of which are entangled with the origins of the necrons themselves.  And if Oltyx is to save his precious Ithakas Dynasty from the barbaric war-cult known as the Imperium of Man, he must become the kind of king he never expected to be.

This omnibus contains the novels The Twice-Dead King: Ruin and The Twice-Dead King: Reign, plus the novella Severed and several short stories.
