About this listen

An Adepta Sororitas Audiobook

Sister Superior Augusta of the Order of the Bloody Rose and her squad find themselves battling a Genestealer Cult with its claws under the planet’s skin – and racing to prevent the arrival of a Tyranid Hive Fleet.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

Sister Augusta of the Order of the Bloody Rose returns in a new Adepta Sororitas novel and must fight to prevent one of the Emperor’s own favoured worlds from becoming prey for the Tyranids.

THE STORY

Opal is a gleaming shrine world of saints and soldiers, beloved of the Emperor Himself. Sent to retrieve the skull of the revered Saint Veres, Sister Superior Augusta of the Order of the Bloody Rose and her squad find themselves in the midst of the capital’s holiest festival, a time of reverence and celebration. But all is not well – despite what its planetary leaders would have Augusta believe, political danger bubbles under the surface, and rebel attacks gnaw away at the city’s outskirts. The greatest threat, however, is yet to come.

As it becomes horrifyingly apparent that a Genestealer Cult has its claws under the planet’s skin, the Sisters realise that can mean only one thing: a hive fleet is on its way to Opal, bringing with it the planet’s doom.

Takes a while to get going but the characters are interesting and the story is worth listening to.
Overall I enjoyed this one.

Some of the characters are a little less defined than other 40k series, and the singing in the audiobook might put off others, but the faith based sisterhood of combat and closeness has a special place for me and is well portrayed here.

Not for everyone, but is a unique place in 40k

Excellent Story

The execution was outstanding. The chanting of the litanies, the fury in the sisters voices, the madness in the heretics. A truly enjoyable experience

A thrilling tale with an epic finale

Chanting. Singing. Catterwailing. I'm sorry but this run was awful and greatly detracted from the story. The story was good. But very poor narration.
