A Warhammer 40,000 Novel

The Emperors Children seek sensation above all else, but when Xantine’s warband come upon an isolated Imperial world, he sees an opportunity to pursue the finer things in life. How long can the proud warlord maintain his ‘perfect’ rule and will the planet survive his reign?

READ IT BECAUSE

It’s a tantalising look into the gleefully twisted minds of the Emperor’s Children as an arrogant warlord strives to ‘save’ an Imperial world from its own imperfections.

THE STORY

Once a united Legion, the disparate splinters of the Emperors Children now eke out a violent, hedonistic existence between the stars, raiding and ravaging worlds to indulge their fathomless appetites.

Xantine, proud leader of the Adored and a true son of Fulgrim, wants more than to simply pillage backwater worlds. He soon finds what he has been searching for Serrine, a wealthy but cruel planet festering under misrule and inequality, cut off from the Imperium by warp storms. It is too tantalising a prize to ignore, and Xantine sets out to bring perfection to his new world.

But perfection is an elusive concept, and as threats creep from the depths of Serrine and the ranks of the Adored, the rot at the heart of Xantines perfect rule is laid bare
