In The Emperor’s Name!
In the grim nightmare future of the 41st millennium, the witch-hunting zealots of the Sisters of Battle stand between humanity and damnation. The Ecclesiarchy is the great church of the Imperium; founded on the worship of the God-Emperor of Mankind, it guards the sanctity of the Imperial Creed and protects the celestial truth of the Emperor’s divinity, and its ideals are enforced by the bolters and flamers of the Orders Militant of the Adepta Sororitas.
Bane of heretics and traitors, the Sororitas are a a zealous army that enforces the will of the holy Ecclesiarchy. From the elite Celestian warriors to the berserk Sisters Repentia, they are the strong arm of the Emperor’s Church and the brutal hammer of witches.
When an mission of Sisters return to a desolate world to reconsecrate a remote Ecclesiarchy outpost, they soon discover an implacable foe – the fearless, soulless necrons – waiting in the darkness…
On a distant world, the Ecclesiarchy outpost of Sanctuary 101, was wiped out by an implacable foe – the fearless, soulless Necrons.
Now, a mission of the Sisterhood has returned to reconsecrate the site – but the metallic nightmares still lurk in the darkness, guarding a secret that has lain dormant for millennia.
A vicious battle will be fought – one that can only end in the total destruction of the unrelenting xenos, or the annihilation of the proud Sororitas.
