Synopsis

Sebastian is a young boy on the world of Taos III. Orphaned at the age of 7, he’s taken in and raised by his grandfather, a former Astra Militarum sergeant, who teaches him the art of survival. Those skills come in handy when orks invade the planet. Can Sebastian stay alive, and can he live up to his grandfather’s name – Yarrick?
