The Word Bearers are among the most feared and reviled of all Chaos Space Marines. Fierce warriors with a fanatical religious zeal, they blaze across the galaxy in the service of their Dark Gods.

They have but a single goal – to tear down the Imperium of Man, and raise a temple to Chaos in its ashes.

THE STORY
Opal is a gleaming shrine world of saints and soldiers, beloved of the Emperor Himself. Sent to retrieve the skull of the revered Saint Veres, Sister Superior Augusta of the Order of the Bloody Rose and her squad find themselves in the midst of the capital’s holiest festival, a time of reverence and celebration. But all is not well – despite what its planetary leaders would have Augusta believe, political danger bubbles under the surface, and rebel attacks gnaw away at the city’s outskirts. The greatest threat, however, is yet to come.
As it becomes horrifyingly apparent that a Genestealer Cult has its claws under the planet’s skin, the Sisters realise that can mean only one thing: a hive fleet is on its way to Opal, bringing with it the planet’s doom.
Written by Danie Ware.

The Blackstone Fortress. A vast, ineffable creation that looms darkly in the void. For all its foreboding, the Fortress is a reliquary of secrets and power – for some, an irresistible temptation. From the nearby spaceport of Precipice, wracked by geomantic storms and teeming with political intrigue and treacherous skulduggery, shadowy figures form unlikely alliances. Treasure hunters and pirates, cutpurses and assassins, and even disgraced rogue traders such as the legendary Janus Draik… all will delve into the Blackstone Fortress in search of riches. Many will never be seen again.
