A Warhammer 40,000 Novel
Cerastes, the Dark Apostle of the Word Bearers, has been humbled—but he is far from defeated. Now he returns, determined to complete his mission: to turn a devout Imperial world toward the worship of Chaos.
WHY YOU SHOULD READ IT
David Annandale brings back Cerastes, previously featured in his short story Sacred Hate. Now driven by a thirst for vengeance, Cerastes faces a deadly challenge: can he succeed against the fanatical Adepta Sororitas of the Order of the Thorn?
THE STORY
Legitur is a world steeped in the Imperial Creed, famed for the endless production of sacred texts and its reputation as a model of devotion. But beneath its towering libraries and endless stacks of scripture lie hidden truths that the Ecclesiarchy would never suspect—and a secret presence born from those shadows.
Cerastes has returned to the world he once called home. Though his forces were crushed by the formidable Palatine Aesura and her Sororitas of the Order of the Thorn, the Dark Apostle’s ambition remains unbroken. He is determined to exact his revenge, resurrect the dreaded Eightfold Bane, and bring Legitur under the dark influence of Chaos. The world’s faith is about to be shaken, and the fires of rebellion will burn brighter than ever.
