Awakenings Collectors Edition Retail Price: (GW Exclusive)
THE STORY
Inquisitor Astor Sabbathiel has a problem: she’s been dead for nearly a hundred years… or so everyone believes.
The last thing she remembers is being shot at point-blank range just as a roiling warp storm engulfed the Calaphrax Cluster. Now, she finds herself awakening on a distant Ecclesiarchy stronghold and indebted to a magos called Metik, who has brought her back from the brink of death.
Shortly after her resurrection, Sabbathiel is called to an audience on the planet Hulth by a high-ranking inquisitor of the Ordo Hereticus, Heldren, who informs her that after being lost for so long, the members of her former conclave no longer trust her. Forced to undertake a mission to prove herself worthy and true, Sabbathiel soon discovers a secret agenda beginning to unfold – one that contains a burgeoning threat to the Imperium that only she can avert. Trying to assemble the fragments of the past to make sense of the mysteries of the present, Sabbathiel will need to act fast and decide who to trust quickly, or else risk the fate of the future.
Written by George Mann.

Mortarion: The Pale King Retail Price: $16.99
THE STORY
Once, the Galaspar System suffered under the cruel regime of the Order. Billions of people toiled endlessly to enrich their masters, enduring short lives of poverty, squalor and fear. But Galaspar’s sins did not go unnoticed by the Imperium, and so Death itself sentenced the Order to annihilation.
Mortarion, newly uplifted to commander of the Death Guard, descended upon the world, and with him came a slaughter of untold proportions. The sheer brutality of Mortarion’s campaign left the Imperium appalled. Seeking to understand its horrors, two noble primarchs have come to Galaspar, summoning their brother to account for his actions. But the Pale King brooks no challenge to his methods, for when the scythe falls, it reaps a gruesome toll.
Written By David Annandale
Nearly all of the Primarch books are popular, so if you are a fan of Death Guard, this is a safe bet for a good lore read!
Storm of Iron Retail Price: $39.99
The Black Library classic Storm of Iron is coming out as an audiobook. Warsmith Honsou is introduced as the Iron Warriors take on their old foes, the Imperial Fists, on Hydra Cordatus. But just what do the Traitors want with such a seemingly insignificant world?
Audiobooks are always convenient, especially for long car rides or when you need to do some manual labor around the house or maybe even at work.
