Simon Spurrier
An early and influential T'au-focused novel following a young fire warrior whose first taste of battle against the Imperium spirals into a far larger ordeal. The story offers a rare perspective from inside the T'au military and their idealistic society as it collides with the brutality of the wider galaxy. A formative tie-in tied to the same era as the Fire Warrior video game.
