Synopsis

An Adepta Sororitas Novel Sister Superior Augusta of the Order of the Bloody Rose and her squad find themselves battling a Genestealer Cult with its claws under the planet’s skin – and racing to prevent the arrival of a Tyranid Hive Fleet. READ IT BECAUSE Sister Augusta of the Order of the Bloody Rose returns in a new Adepta Sororitas novel and must fight to prevent one of the Emperor’s own favoured worlds from becoming prey for the Tyranids. THE STORY Opal is a gleaming shrine world of saints and soldiers, beloved of the Emperor Himself. Sent to retrieve the skull of the revered Saint Veres, Sister Superior Augusta of the Order of the Bloody Rose and her squad find themselves in the midst of the capital’s holiest festival, a time of reverence and celebration. But all is not well – despite what its planetary leaders would have Augusta believe, political danger bubbles under the surface, and rebel attacks gnaw away at the city’s outskirts. The greatest threat, however, is yet to come. As it becomes horrifyingly apparent that a Genestealer Cult has its claws under the planet’s skin, the Sisters realise that can mean only one a hive fleet is on its way to Opal, bringing with it the planet’s doom.
