Shadow of The Eighth (Special Edition): $75.00 (GW Exclusive)
The forces of Cadia struggle ever onward, desperate to avenge the destruction of their home world and prove that even in the wake of profound loss, they remain the exemplars of the Astra Militarum.
When Minka Lesk and the Cadian 101st discover a relic of the missing Cadian 8th – thought lost in the planet’s defence – they see an opportunity to right a past wrong, and follow the trail to Telken’s Rest, a world at the core of the Chaos warlord Drakul-zar’s collapsing regime.
But the Imperium are not the only force to pounce upon the carcass of Telken’s Rest, and Minka soon discovers that there are dark secrets hidden amidst the icy sprawl of hab blocks and manufactoria. As the past comes back to haunt them, the Cadian 101st face a choice – will they stand firm and do what needs to be done, or will the spectre of what they have lost lead them astray?
Written by Justin D Hill.

Cadia has stood in grim defiance against the enemies of the Imperium for ten thousand years, an indomitable bulwark against the forces of Chaos… but now, the Thirteenth Black Crusade has come, and there will be no victory. Here, Minka Lesk will be tested in the very fires of a world’s destruction.
Join Minka as she grows from a young Whiteshield struggling to survive in the ruins of the kasr she called home, to a sergeant haunted by loss, fighting to excise the rot at the heart of an Ecclesiarchy world, to a lieutenant who will do anything to break the stalemate in the grinding mire that is the Siege of Crannog Mons.
She will battle on, bloodied but unbroken, for the honour of Cadia itself.
This omnibus contains three novels, and two short stories, all written by Justin D Hill.

Renegades: Harrowmaster Retail Price: $17.99

The Alpha Legion are devious beyond measure, but deceit is a double-edged sword. As the Indomitus Crusade pushes into the far reaches of the Ultima Segmentum, the warband known as the Serpent’s Teeth encounter the fearsome Primaris Marines, and the Alpha Legion is faced with a choice – fade into the shadows, or adapt and strike back.
Solomon Akurra, leader of the Teeth, intends to claim the title of Harrowmaster and bind together the feuding heads of the hydra that make up his Legion. His allies are disparate and unproven, and his enemies march with the might of the Imperium at their back. Much is not as it seems, and the odds are stacked against the sons of Alpharius… but Solomon is armed with a weapon the Imperium cannot ignore – the truth.
Written by Mike Brooks

The pair must act fast in Nathan Long’s Manslayer lest disaster cut their journey – and lives – short. This story arrives for pre-order in audiobook format next week.
