After her village is attacked by Slaaneshi raiders, Laila fears that the seekers aren’t done yet with Varna and will return to inflict even more damage. Against the wishes of the village elders, she sets out with just two companions to find the Valley of the Oracle’s Eye and petition the Fair Ones to come to their aid. Little does she realise, however, that the cost for their protection may be more than she’s willing to pay.
It’s a (figuratively and literally) dark, fearful journey for Laila, who as a farmer rather than the usual warrior makes for an interesting protagonist, remarkably brave yet almost painfully naive. While the final outcome is never really in doubt, there’s plenty of entertainment to be had along the way, including the classic Warhammer-esque sense of grim satisfaction.

I like Jamie Crisalli's representation of the Daughters of Khaine. They have principles, have a long-term perspective, and are much more emotional than humans. They have a sense of dogma, and have an outlook that is not human. I liked the delivery of a human making an agreement that goes not as expected because it was a fey-like creature they had made a deal with.
P.S. Never make deals with the fey.
