Synopsis
Graham McNeill’s novel opens the Ambassador Chronicles by sending retired Imperial general Kaspar von Velten to Kislev. Black Library’s jacket makes him ambassador to the court of Tsarina Katarin, the Ice Queen, while a Chaos army prepares to move south against the Empire. Kaspar is the viewpoint. He is unready for the court’s politics and uses a general’s habits to force his way through them.
Katarin is the ruler he is posted to, not the narrator. The jacket spells her title Tsarina. The game’s lord list uses Tzarina. The book is Warhammer Fantasy fiction about that court. It is not an Immortal Empires campaign.
The Ambassador jacket
The jacket says a member of the Tsarina’s family is murdered in Kaspar’s homeland, and that the courts are strained toward war. It asks whether he can stop the conflict. It does not name the killer or the ending.
