4.0

In the midst of a furious campaign, young Sister Avra finds herself chosen to take the place of a fallen Sister in the funerary procession of Saint Katherine. Over the course of the following night, each of her new sisters relates a tale of the saint that represents the ethos of each of the Major Orders of the Adepta Sororitas.

Structured as a sort of portmanteau, this is a little different to your average 40k novel. There are elements of a regular narrative from Avra’s perspective, but broken up as it is into individual stories told by different narrators it definitely feels like a bit of a campfire tale – leaning into the oral tradition, full of allegory and steeped in legend. For Adepta Sororitas fans who enjoy Ware’s powerful take on Battle Sisters and can appreciate the spoken word stylings (which probably work very well in audiobook format) this is definitely worth checking out.
