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. It blends Sisters of Battle faith and warfare with the creeping horror of an alien insurrection.
