A Warhammer 40,000 Anthology

The Battle Sisters of the Adepta Sororitas are true exemplars of the Imperial Creed, purging the enemies of the God-Emperor with unshakeable faith and fury. This anthology, combining two novellas and five short stories, chronicles their epic deeds and valiant sacrifices.

READ IT BECAUSE
There are few tales more inspiring than those of the Sisters of Battle – driven by faith and sisterhood, they rush into battle when others flee, never hesitating to do their duty. These stories from fan-favourite authors and writers new to Black Library will stoke the fires of your faith in the God-Emperor.

THE STORY
In the novella Paragon of Faith, Sister Aenor leads a squad of indomitable Paragon Warsuits in the desperate defence of a sacred pilgrimage world as a hidden menace boils from below. With the planet crumbling around her, Aenor must contend with crippling self-doubt, as well as the innumerable cultist hordes.

In Saint’s Judgement, Sister Hospitaller Docia contends with a different but no less insidious threat – a deadly plague that corrupts mind, body and soul. Conflict soon envelopes her infirmary, its corridors becoming battlefields as Docia draws ever closer to a cure that will purify and push back the infected tide.

In the short story Infernal Motives, Aveline leads a unit of skitarii into a sprawling factorum complex, only to realise that the neverborn she seeks is a monstrous daemon engine. Trapped inside, Aveline must fight the machinery of the arcane building and destroy the evil at its centre – before the daemon factorum can begin making more of its infernal kind.

Sister Wulfryth must learn humility and cooperation by working with an Astra Militarum soldier in Our Lady of the Voyage. They take on a vital mission to recover a missing preacher and a sacred relic – but what if they don't want to be recovered?

The short story Joy of the Martyr features sisters of the Order of Our Martyred Lady who have been dispatched to retake and cleanse a millennia-old shrine on the planet Unguria. As they approach the ancient site, they soon realise that all is not as it appears.

In Redemption Through Blood, Sister Marcella of the Order of the Bloody Rose struggles to hone her anger as a weapon. During an engagement with the enemy, her senses are dulled by the vicious hatred she fosters, and she does not hear the orders of her Sister Superior.

Under the command of zealous Inquisitor Serantia of the Ordo Hereticus, Canoness Commander Florelia and her sisters fight with all they have to reclaim a world lost to the sacrilegious worship of a false Emperor in the short story The Fires of Our Faith.
