The Infinite and the Divine

Two Necrons. One Obsession. Ten Million Years of Rivalry.

The Infinite and the Divine by Robert Rath is a Black Library novel set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, following two ancient Necron Overlords — Trazyn the Infinite and Orikan the Diviner — whose bitter rivalry spans millennia. Part dark comedy, part cosmic horror, it offers a rare window into Necron culture, ambition, and the cold logic of an undying civilisation.

The Story

Trazyn collects. Orikan predicts. Both are convinced of their own supremacy, and both are catastrophically wrong about each other. When a dormant Necron tomb world stirs and a long-buried secret threatens to reshape the balance of power among the Dynasties, their feud becomes something far more dangerous than either anticipated. Across ten million years of scheming, warfare, and grudging respect, two of the 41st Millennium's most compelling characters collide in a novel unlike anything else in Black Library's catalogue.
