Book 2 in the Minka Lesk series. Cadia, ten thousand years a stalwart bastion against Chaos, is broken. Its collapse at the hands of Abaddon and the Thirteenth Black Crusade has fractured the Imperium of Man, and in its wake spreads the seeds of heresy, lies and insurrection. It falls to Cadia’s survivors to fight on, bloodied but unyielding, in the name of the Emperor. On the world of Malouri, traitorous forces have retreated to the impregnable island fortress of Crannog Mons. After years of stalemate warfare, the task of breaking the siege is given to Minka Lesk and the Cadian 101st, who find themselves fighting a meat-grinder mission that threatens to devour them. In the midst of slaughter, sacrifice and brutal attrition, a question must be answered: What does it mean to be Cadian in a galaxy without Cadia?

Catch up with the heroic tales of Minka Lesk in this great value omnibus. Cadia has stood in grim defiance against the enemies of the Imperium for ten thousand years, an indomitable bulwark against the forces of Chaos… but now, the Thirteenth Black Crusade has come, and there will be no victory. Here, Minka Lesk will be tested in the very fires of a world's destruction. Join Minka as she grows from a young Whiteshield struggling to survive in the ruins of the kasr she called home, to a sergeant haunted by loss, fighting to excise the rot at the heart of an Ecclesiarchy world, to a lieutenant who will do anything to break the stalemate in the grinding mire that is the Siege of Crannog Mons. She will battle on, bloodied but unbroken, for the honour of Cadia itself.

Of all the devout warriors in the Adepta Sororitas, none are as renowned or battle-hungry as those of the Order of Our Martyred Lady. Yet while others seek glory in their own martyrdom, Sister Helewise is determined to stay alive so that her death might serve a greater purpose, when the God-Emperor wills it. Assigned to Fleet Quintus of the Indomitus Crusade, Helewise and her Sisters follow an ancient route of pilgrimage in an effort to rediscover and liberate the shrine world of Cion, once a sacred bastion of their order. In retracing the steps of Saint Katherine herself, their faith will be tested to the extreme as they attempt to uncover what became of their Sisters stationed in the daemon-infested sectors beyond the Cicatrix Maledictum. As their mission lurches from disaster to disaster and the Emperor’s voice grows ever more silent, the Sisters of Battle must trust in bolter, blade and their own unbreakable bonds in order to drive back the darkness of Imperium Nihilus.

The year is 1016 and England burns while the Viking armies blockade the great city of London. King Ethelred lies dying and the England he knew dies with him; the warring kingdoms of Mercia, Wessex and Northymbria tremble on the brink of great change. One man lives to bear witness to the upheaval: Godwin, barely out of boyhood and destined to become one of his country’s great warriors. When Ethelred’s son Edmund takes the throne, determined to succeed where his father failed, he plucks Godwin from domestic peace to be right-hand man in his loyal shield wall. Godwin must traverse the meadows, wintry forests and fogbound marshes of Saxon England, raising armies of monks, ploughmen and shepherds against the Viking invader. With epic courage and ferocity, Godwin and Edmund repel the butchering Danes in three great battles. But an old enemy, the treacherous Earl Eadric, dogs Godwin’s footsteps, and as the final battle approaches, around the valiant English the trap begins to close.

The follow-up to Cadia Stands continues the journey of Minka Lesk and her warriors as they seek revenge against the Imperium's enemies for the loss of their world.

When the barbarous Fettnir turns his attention to Escher territory, the result is nothing short of a massacre.
