Set on a beleaguered Imperial shrine world, this novel follows the Adeptas Sororitas as civil unrest and rumors of monstrous four-armed figures signal that a hidden Genestealer Cult is rising from beneath the populace.

A squad of Blood Angels investigates a derelict drifting through the void, only to confront the relentless horror of the tyranid menace and the bloody curse that lurks within their own gene-seed.

Ben Counter

Told in the style of a Fenrisian saga recited in the feasting hall, this tale follows Arjac Rockfist, champion of the Great Wolf, as he holds the gates of the Fang against a sudden tyranid incursion. The deliberately archaic, larger-than-life narration captures the mythic spirit of the Space Wolves at their most heroic.
