Drachenfels A Genevieve novel by Jack Yeovil. This is an excerpt from DRACHENFELS by Jack Yeovil. Would vanquish the wielder of the warhammer forever. I found this information on the Warhammer novels. If it's the same series you are mentioning I can see why you needed details The series seems to be split up into different ones. The Gamesworkshop table-top gaming company that inspired these novels has been around donkey's years, and was originally targetted a relatively adult section of the market. The themes the game and early novels explored were quite dark, and there was even a GW death-metal band called 'Bolt Thrower', if I'm not mistaken. In recent years the hobby has swung more towards capturing the attention of children and younger teenagers, and as such it's become much fluffier in nature. I stopped playing or indeed reading the books about ten years ago but the recent deluge of new warhammer books and re-releases of the older books did prick my attention: call it nostalgia. Looking at my old, battered copy of Ian Watson's 'Space Marine', I have to say that (surprisingly) it is a quality military SF novel that probably was hampered rather than aided down the years by its association with what is considered a pretty nerdy hobby. 'Storm Warriors' and 'Beasts in Velvet' are also quite good fantasy novels in their own right. Wouldn't mind taking a look at the 'Konrad' novels if I can ever find them all together. In contrast, the more recent novels seem a lot more run of the mill and even juvenile. In particular, the Gaunt's ghosts series seems to be a very watered-down version of Drake's 'Hammer's Slammers' novels. What I like about Black Library is their tradition of publishing popular series in omnibus editions. These omnibus editions are often very handsome and often collect 3 novels in a book (700-800 pages). The format is trade paperback and they're good value for their money. Recent examples are the Von Thulman novels by C.L. Werner and the Vampire Wars novels by Steven Savile. Other recommended omnibus editions are the Felix & Gotrek novels (there are already 2 omnibuses, a third is forthcoming) and the Vampire Genevieve omnibus by Jack Yeovil. Another omnibus I'm looking forward to are the Inquisition War novels by Ian Watson. I believe this omnibus will be released around easter next year.
