Pilgrims of Fire

Sister Helewise may be a Battle Sister, but she’s not inclined to rush right into martyrdom – not until she’s found a higher purpose that her death may serve, anyway. Her Adepta Sororitas mission joins the ‘cursed’ Indomitus Fleet Quintus in Pilgrims of Fire by Justin D Hill, and time amidst the maligned fleet may be just what the good Sister needs to discover what the Emperor plans for her.

Pilgrims of Fire is now available to pre-order in a new paperback edition.

BLPreorders Dec23 FRE1

The destruction of Cadia was an inflection point in the narrative of Warhammer 40,000, and a colossal victory for Abaddon the Despoiler. Robert Rath’s The Fall of Cadia tells this story like never before, touching on the perspective of everyone from rank-and-file foot soldiers to those orchestrating the defence in high command.

This tale is such a huge and momentous event that this new French-language edition has been split into two parts, with Part 1 available to pre-order today in paperback and eBook editions.

All of these three-week pre-orders are due to be released on the 13th of January 2024.
