Hive Secundus, once the shining pinnacle of Necromunda, is now a haunted, alien-infested hell.

A bastion of education and enlightenment, Hive Secundus was where Necromunda’s greatest minds were encouraged to prosper... until the Inquisition discovered the insidious truth lurking at the heart of Necromunda’s second city. The cancer was so deep-seated that Hive Secundus was razed to the ground, and the ruins declared quarantine extremis for more than a century. But, even the most diabolical weaponry in the Imperial arsenal couldn’t destroy the horrors below the Jewel of Necromunda... or the lost treasures that draw gangs into its grasp.

It is time to leave Hive Primus as Necromunda: Book of Desolation introduces gangs to the perilous landscape of the abandoned hive. They will clash in search of priceless, ancient archeotech, all the while hunted by xenos horrors and the corrupted servants of the Malstrain.
