T'au Empire Reading Order

Phil Kelly

Commander Shadowsun, the T'au Empire's master of stealth warfare and the patient Kauyon strategy, leads an expansion into former Imperial space beyond the Startide Nexus. When her cold, logical methods meet the daemon-haunted Death Guard, whose plague-ridden warriors defy all rational planning, she faces an enemy unlike any she has hunted. As treachery threatens her alliances, Shadowsun must adapt or watch her campaign unravel.
