Illyrium $ 4.99 (Audiobook)
As the Ultramarines flagship Macragge’s Honour comes under attack, Seargeant Ammon rushes to the quarters of Tarasha Euten, the primarch’s chamberlain. Euten has been by Guilliman’s side since he was a child, and counselled him across the decades. Old in body but still sharp and wise, she gives the sergeant a lesson in leadership, using an example from the primarch’s youth. Prepare to discover how young Roboute conquered the hill tribes and brought peace to Macragge… just not in the way the history books record.
Written by Darius Hinks. Running time 28 minutes. Performed by Barnaby Edwards, Jonathan Keeble, Penelope Rawlins & Andrew Wincott.
The Crystal Cathedral $ 3.99 (E-Book)
On Caro, the smallest moon of the planet Lena Beta, there stands a miracle. In a gorge on the moon is a cathedral to the Emperor made from pure, black glass. Sister Augusta and her fellow Battle Sisters from the Order of the Bloody Rose stand guard over this most unexpected find, taking joy in its presence – for this place was built to honour fallen sisters of their order more than a millennium ago. Yet their peace cannot last. As they mark the moment with a solemn service, an unexpected attack leaves the sisters forced to bring death to this holy place, whether they want to or not.
Written by Danie Ware
Reflections in Steel $ 3.99 (E-Book)
The town of Kyoshima has survived many perils, from vicious grot wolf riders to warbands of feral flesh-eaters. Now, doom has finally come in the form of Kravoth’s Reavers, followers of the Dark Gods. The fortunate died quickly – young Kenji suffers a worse fate, rescued from death by the raiders’ leader, Gharm, and taken as a slave. In his captivity, he sees just one hope of survival – to join his captors. Can Kenji walk the Eightfold path, or will he be consumed by the darkness?

A Question of Taste $ 3.99 (E-Book)
In Necromunda’s Hive Primus, life is very different for those who toil in the underhive and those who live up-hive, far above the planet’s scarred surface. In the underhive, life is cheap. Up-hive, it is very, very expensive – and a commodity to be sold, not least by the guilds who grind down the remains of the dead into corpse-starch to feed the masses. When one such noble hosts a dinner with representatives of other guilds, the true cost of life becomes clear – as does one of the ways in which life is the same no matter where in the hive you live – there will always be war…
Written by Denny Flowers
Augur of Despair: Part 1 $ 4.99 (Audiobook)
The Arch-Militant Neyam Shai Murad and the noble crusader Gotfret de Montbard have retrieved a great prize from the Blackstone Fortress – a cube they found with the help of an unscrupulous data-trader. This mysterious artefact may answer all their questions about the alien labyrinth… if they can return it to Precipice. Many dangers stand in their way, including a rampaging ambull, Negavolt cultists and the ever-shifting maze of the fortress itself. And even if they do return, they shall need aid to decipher the device, from a most untrustworthy ally…
Written by Chris Dows. Running time 15 minutes, 32 seconds. Performed by Tom Alexander, Lanna Joffrey & Luis Soto.
Augur of Despair: Part 2 $ 4.99 (Audiobook)
Disaster has befallen Neyam Shai Murad and Gotfred de Montbard. Trapped in Gandar Sett’s laboratory and surrounded by the mad genetor’s living experiments, they must fight to survive. However, Sett holds their future in his hands and he will not see his creatures harmed. Can the pair fend off the wild beasts long enough for the containment fields to reactivate, and defend the genetor in the process? Even if they do, they may not be able to trust Sett to help them unravel the mystery of the artefact they found in the Blackstone Fortress…
Written by Chris Dows. Running time 18 minutes, 54 seconds. Performed by Tom Alexander, Lanna Joffrey & Luis Soto.

Dark Harvest From: $ 9.99
Harran Blackwood was a Warrior-Priest of ruthless virtue. Now he’s a man with a scorched reputation, prowling the back alleys of Greywater Fastness, content to fight the petty wars of racketeers for survival. But when a desperate message arrives from an old friend, Blackwood is forced to confront a past he thought long buried. Summoned to the isolated village of Wald, Blackwood sets off on a perilous trek to ensure the sins of his former life remain forgotten. He soon discovers that Wald is a hostile, secretive place with sins of its own. Deep in the murky marshes, where the cruel chants of village folk echo and the stink of death hovers low, Blackwood must channel his bitterness and rage to defy the ancient darkness that now hunts him before he is devoured, body and soul.
Written by Josh Reynolds

Having fought during the devastation of Baal, Mephiston and a cohort of Blood Angels are drawn by cryptic visions to a war-torn world on the cusp of the Great Rift. Here, the sorcerers of the Thousand Sons seek to unite nine Silver Towers and bring about a ritual that will empower their master, the daemon-primarch Magnus. The ritual must be prevented, lest the entire sub-sector be cast into Chaos. Mephiston faces a challenge like no other, of his strength and his will, confronting a hidden truth that threatens to expose him to his darkest fears.
