  1) THE DAEMONS CURSE:
  WARRIOR. BETRAYER. MONSTER. Even among the treacherous dark elves, Malus Darkblade stands out as a study in utter ruthlessness. When he steals a map that leads to a secret power hidden deep within the Chaos Wastes, Malus collects his cut-throat warriors and sets off to seek his fortune.

  His soul taken forfeit by a daemon, Darkblade must now seek the legendary Warpsword of Khaine or be forever damned.
  
  5) LORD OF RUIN
  Word has it that this is the conclusion to the Malus Darkblade series. Yet the way the ending is written leaves the reader wondering.
