<strong>A Warhammer 40,000 Anthology</strong></br></br>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.</br></br><strong>READ IT BECAUSE</strong></br>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.</br></br><strong>THE STORY</strong></br>In the novella <i>Paragon of Faith</i>, 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.</br></br>In <i>Saint’s Judgement</i>, 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.</br></br>In the short story <i>Infernal Motives</i>, 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.</br></br>Sister Wulfryth must learn humility and cooperation by working with an Astra Militarum soldier in <i>Our Lady of the Voyage</i>. 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?</br></br>The short story <i>Joy of the Martyr</i> 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.</br></br>In <i>Redemption Through Blood</i>, 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.</br></br>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 <i>The Fires of Our Faith</i>.</br></br><strong>CONTENTS</strong></br>– <i>Paragon of Faith</i> (novella), by Amanda Bridgeman </br>– <i>Saint's Judgement</i> (novella), by Ness Brown </br>– <i>Infernal Motives</i> (short story), by Jude Reid</br>– <i>Our Lady of the Voyage</i> (short story), by Kate Flack</br>– <i>Joy of the Martyr</i> (short story), by Ness Brown</br>– <i>Redemption Through Blood</i> (short story), by John Sollitto</br>– <i>The Fires of Our Faith</i> (short story), by Nicholas Werner
