Sir Rupert Triumff. Adventurer. Fighter. Drinker.
Saviour?
Pratchett goes swashbuckling in the hotly anticipated original fiction debut of the multi-million selling Warhammer star.
Triumff: Her Majesty’s Hero is a ribald historical fantasy set in a warped clockwork-powered version of our present day … a new Elizabethan age, not of Elizabeth II but in the style of the original Virgin Queen. Throughout its rollicking pages, Sir Rupert Triumff drinks, dines and duels his way into a new Brass Age of Exploration and Adventure.
The first original novel from multi-million selling tie-in king (and New York Times bestselling author) Dan Abnett, it has all the swashbuckling action of his most popular writing, but also a wild sense of humour – believe us, in all seriousness some of the diabolical gags he’s wrangling in this novel would kill a less experienced writer.

“Triumff contains the three things I love most in fantasy: awesome magic, thrilling adventure, a truly original world and some really dreadful puns.”
– Trudi Canavan
“Triumff: Her Majesty’s Hero is a witch’s brew of alternate history, hocus pocus, cracking action and cheesy gags. Reads like Blackadder crossed with Neal Stephenson. It’s a Kind of Magick – don’t miss it.”
– Stephen Baxter
“Endlessly inventive, joyously irreverent, drenched with adrenalin and wicked humour, Dan Abnett’s Triumff: Her Majesty’s Hero is a brilliant occult-comedy-historical-adventure that’s true to the best traditions of the genres it so eagerly devours.”
– Mike Carey
"Triumff is an unexpectedly adept contribution to the subgenre of humorous fantasy, one that should find more than a few fans.”
