'''''Daemon World''''' is a [[Warhammer 40,000]] novel by [[Ben Counter]]. It was first published in 2003 and was out of print for many years before a new edition of the novel was released in May 2008 to coincide with the release of [[Codex: Chaos Daemons (4th Edition)]]. The 2008 edition includes an afterword by Ben Counter in which he briefly describes some of his thoughts on the novel and how some of his ideas developed. ==Cover Description==On the [[daemon world]] of [[Torvendis]], deep in the heart of the warp storm known as the [[Maelstrom]], ancient rivalries threaten to shatter the delicate balance of power, currently held by the Lady Charybdia, daemon princess of [[Slaanesh]]. When the warriors of the [[Word Bearers]] arrive on the planet, hunting one of their own, the traitor Karnulon, monstrous forces are unleashed that could tear Torvendis apart.
==Plot Summary==
{{Spoiler|source=Daemon World (Novel)}}
On the [[Daemon World]] of [[Torvendis]] in the very centre of the [[Maelstrom]], a barbarian named [[Golgoth]] sets out to restore the Emerald Sword tribe to its former glory by facing Grik, the current ruler who is weakening the tribe. On the way Golgoth and his warriors run across an old hermit calling himself Kron who offers to teach Golgoth the ways of sorcery and become stronger by tapping into his inner hate. They fight their way into Grik's tent, where Golgoth slays the degenerate ruler and takes leadership of the tribe for himself. Golgoth learns Grik had been sending warriors and newborns of the tribe as slaves and cattle to [[Lady Charybdia]], the [[Slaanesh|Slaaneshi]] [[Daemon]] ruler of Torvendis, in return for a guarantee of safety from her legions.
