Severed is a Necron novella by Nate Crowley.

Description

Few amongst the hierarchies of the Nemesors are as lauded for their military strategy as Zahndrekh. A near peerless tactician, his battlefield acumen has won countless wars for the Necrons of the Sautekh Dynasty. His dauntless shadow is the Vargard Obyron, both tireless protector and eternal companion to the Nemesor.

But when the ghosts of Zahndrekh’s muddled past return to haunt him and he and Obyron are sent to quell a rebellion in the Ghoul Stars, their bond and Zahndrekh’s already fragile sanity is put to the test. Given this mission by the mighty Stormlord himself, Phaeron of the Sautekh, Zhandrekh and Obyron have little choice but to ally with an old acquaintance, a fellow Nemesor called Setekh. Their forces combined, they head for Doahht, a world which harbours both horror and hope in equal measure. What lurks in the darkness beneath the earth of Doahht and what purpose does Setekh have above his ostensible service to the Sautekh Dynasty?
