Synopsis

A Warhammer 40,000 Novel A double-barreled set of novels from Dan Abnett, exploring the Adeptus Arbites attempts to enforce Imperial law on a sprawling hive planet amid scandals, cults, and much worse. READ IT BECAUSE Head down into the depths of a hive world, where a corrupted planetary governor has sent the populace into a perilous spiral they may not recover from. Will the population revolt? Can the Adeptus Arbites save this benighted world? THE STORY Welcome to Sacramentus. Austerity and toil will teach the true measure of the Hive’s failing. No one is blameless. The planetary governor has fallen, deposed in scandal and treachery. The Adeptus Arbites roam the smog-choked vertics and zontals, rooting out traitors, enforcing the Imperial law without mercy. As a new governor, an outsider, is crowned, the Hive teeters between order and anarchy. Whispers of rebellion echo from the heights of the Waistland to the depths of the Neg. Rival gangs seize both opportunity and territory, and forbidden cults grow ever bolder. But unbeknownst to all, a more terrifying threat awaits in the darkness. May your light last, pilgrim. If the Emperor protects, perhaps we shall make it out alive. Written by Dan Abnett.
