Imagine uncovering one of the Imperium’s greatest treacheries, only to be gunned down by Grey Knights and left for dead in the midst of a warp storm. Inquisitor Astor Sabbathiel has been through a lot – butting heads with the Dark Angels in the Warhammer 40,000 comic series from Titan Comics – and now must deal with suspicion from her own order in Awakenings, her first full-length Black Library novel.There’s a big problem: 100 years have passed since her supposed death, and the Ordo Hereticus takes a dim view of anyone who comes into contact with the warp. Nursed back to health by the mysterious techpriest Metik, Sabbathiel must prove her faith and regain the trust of her fellow Inquisitors by undertaking a suitably dangerous mission.This incredible Special Edition is on its way next month, and features a suitably luxurious cover with gold foil inlay, gilt page edges, and a red ribbon page marker. These individually numbered collector’s items are limited to only 1,250 copies, and also include an additional exclusive short story starring the Inquisitor.
Penned by the original comic author* George Mann, this novel takes place between the Inquisitor’s original adventures and her subsequent appearance in Inferno! Volume 4.** Entering during a golden age of inquisitorial intrigue – with the awesome Warhammer+ animated series Interrogator’s third act beginning today and this year’s new illustrated edition of the Inquisitor Eisenhorn classic Xenos – Awakenings is a story of mystery and redemption told through the eyes of someone who’s seen the dark heart of the Imperium .
Awakenings will also be available in hardback, eBook, and MP3 audiobook editions soon. Don’t forget to rejoin the dark investigative underbelly of Warhammer 40,000 in Interrogator Act III, starting today on Warhammer+.
