Synopsis

Blood Runs. Anger Rises. Death Wakes. War Calls. The eldar of Craftworld Biel-Tan go to war, amongst them the warrior-women of the Howling Banshees. Exarch Clyona and her sisters of the Deathly Wail shrine are hurled into battle with the servants of the Blood God in the depths of an abandoned and Chaos-tainted craftworld. At stake is nothing less than the survival of Biel-Tan itself. Can the Howling Banshees defeat the daemons and save their home, or will they be claimed by death? Read it because You wouldn't want to get in a fight with Exarch Clyona and her deadly Banshee sisters. Their Banshee masks have sense warping powers that can liquefy unsuspecting foes. And the setting for their battle is like no other, the depths of a dead craftworld.
