Konrad - David Ferring

Book 1 of the Konrad trilogy, this bookseries has reached a bit of a cultstatus amongst Black Library novels...

Originally published by Games Workshop in the late 1980s.

In a small village somewhere in the Empire, Konrad lives a bad life as an adopted son of the innkeeper.  His only friend is Elyssa, the daughter of the local nobleman.  But as they learn each other things over the years, they discover Konrad has the gift of foresight.

But then the village is burned to the ground, it's inhabitants slain, by vile Beastmen.  Konrad is the only survivor, and is soon taken on as a squire by a knight called Wolf.  For five years he pledges his alliance to Wolf, and together they travel to Kislev to fight Chaos and to find an ancient dwarven treasure...

A really good book that read as a knife through butter.
