The Story

Aestred Thurga is the Reliquant at Arms, a holy warrior tasked with defending the relics of the Imperium.

While returning the legendary Sword of Saarim to its rightful place upon the necropolis world of Katerah, Aestred is ambushed by a cult of the Plague God that steals the blade for themselves. Horrified at her defeat, she plunges herself and her Adepta Sororitas companions into a brutal battle against the forces of Chaos that overwhelm the planet from within, in order to reclaim both the relic and her honour.

But when the billions of heroes laid to rest on Katerah begin to rise from their graves, Aestred must choose whether it is more important to defend the Imperium’s people or protect its history, and is confronted with an awful truth – sometimes, a Sister can fail her mission.
