'''The Twice-Dead King: Reign''' is a [[Necron]] novel from [[The Twice Dead King (Novel Series)|The Twice-Dead King]] series written by [[Nate Crowley]].{{Fn|2}}

==Description==
After centuries of exile, the [[necron lord]] [[Oltyx]] has at last been granted the thing he has always craved: the throne of the [[Ithakas Dynasty]]. Kingship, however, is not quite what he had hoped for – Oltyx's reign currently exists aboard the dying battleship [[Akrops]], as it lumbers away from the ruins of his [[crownworld]]. Behind it is a hostile armada of unfathomable size, launched by the barbaric alien war-cult known as the [[Imperium of Man]]. And within the Akrops' sepulchral hold, an even greater threat festers – the creeping horror of the [[Flayed One|flayer curse]]. Faced with such overwhelming odds, Oltyx leads a desperate voyage into a darkness so profound that salvation and doom look much the same. If he and his dynasty are to make it through that long night, Oltyx will have to become a very different sort of king.{{Fn|2}}
