An Astra Militarum novel
Commissar Severina
Raine and the 11th Antari Rifles fight to subdue the spreading threat of Chaos
burning across the Bale Stars. Little does Raine realise the key to victory
lies in her own past, and in the ghosts that she carries with
her.
READ IT BECAUSE
The hero of a series of short
stories returns in her first full-length novel – and it’s as grim, dark and
brilliantly written as you’d expect from Rachel Harrison.
THE
STORY
Uncompromising and fierce, Commissar Severina Raine has
always served the Imperium with the utmost distinction. Attached to the 11th
Antari Rifles, she instills order and courage in the face of utter horror. The
Chaos cult, the Sighted, have swept throughout the Bale Stars and a shadow has
fallen across its benighted worlds. A great campaign led by the vaunted hero
Lord-General Militant Alar Serek is underway to free the system from tyranny
and enslavement, but the price of victory must be paid in blood. But what
secrets do the Sighted harbour, secrets that might cast a light onto Raine’s
own troubled past? Only by embracing her duty and staying true to her belief in
the Imperium and the commissar’s creed can she hope to survive this crucible,
but even then will that be enough?
