When her brother is killed in battle, Itheíul of Craftworld Saim-Hann discovers one such path that, should she take the first steps upon it, could consume her.

Hammer and Anvil $ 39.99 (Audio Book)

Hammer & Anvil

The Sisters of Battle are the Emperor’s most devout worshippers, fierce warriors preaching the purity of the Imperium and scourging their enemies with bolter and flamer. On a distant world, the Ecclesiarchy outpost of Sanctuary 101, was wiped out by an implacable foe – the fearless, soulless necrons. Now, a mission of the Sisterhood has returned to reconsecrate the site – but the metallic nightmares still lurk in the darkness, guarding a secret that has lain dormant for millennia. A vicious battle will be fought, one that can only end in the total destruction of the unrelenting xenos or the annihilation of the proud Adepta Sororitas.

 

Written by James Swallow. Approx running time 13 hours 48 minutes. Narrated by Emma Gregory.

Mark of Faith From: $ 16.99

Mark of faith cover

With the birth of the Cicatrix Maledictum the Imperium of Mankind suffers as never before. Conflict and corruption is rife on every front and precious little hope remains, save for those who hold to their faith when faced with destruction…

Denied a martyr’s death during the battle for Ophelia VII, Sister Evangeline of the Order of Our Martyred Lady is blessed with a new and grave duty; to embark on a pilgrimage beyond the Great Rift to recover a precious and powerful artefact – the Shield of Saint Katherine. Accompanied by the enigmatic Inquisitor Ravara, who seeks her own closure in the veiled regions beyond the Rift, Evangeline must find a way to bear the weight of this unasked-for destiny if she and her Sisters are to succeed in restoring a fragment of light to this new dark Imperium.

Written by Rachel Harrison. Running time 12 hours 15 minutes. Narrated by Grace Andrews and Charlotte Strevens.

Trollslayer 20th Anniversary Edition From: $ 11.99

Trollslayer 20 cover

This collection of stories is where the saga of Gotrek began. Mutants in the forest, goblins in the mountains, a troll beneath the world – from these small beginnings came the greatest partnership in the Old World, and a hero who has crossed realities and become a legend.

Written by William King.

Cadia Stands $ 39.99 (Audio Book)

Cadia stands

Under almost constant besiegement by the hosts pouring from the Eye of Terror, Cadia acts as a bulwark against tyranny and death. Its fortresses and armies have held back the hordes of Chaos for centuries, but that grim defiance is about to reach its end. As Abaddon’s Thirteenth Black Crusade batters Cadia’s defences, and armies of the Imperium flock to reinforce this crucial world, a terrible ritual long in the making comes to fruition and the delicate balance of this brutal war shifts… From the darkness, a hero rises to lead the beleaguered defenders, Lord Castellan Ursarkar Creed, but even with the armoured might of the Astra Militarum and the strength of the Adeptus Astartes, will it be enough to avert disaster and prevent the fall of Cadia? While Creed lives, there is hope. While there is breath in the body of a single defender, Cadia stands… but for how much longer?

Written by Justin D Hill. Running time 7 hours 39 mins. Narrated by David Seddon.

These upcoming releases are going to be a must-have for all you lore hounds out there. Score these titles today from The Black Library.
