Summary

In the grim nightmare future of the 41st millennium, the witch-hunting zealots of the the Sisters of Battle stand between humanity and damnation. From the elite Seraphim warriors to the berserk Sisters Repentia, they are the strong arm of the Ecclesiarchy and the brutal hammer of witches.

When dangerous psychic heretic Torris Vaun escapes from her custody, Seraphim Miriya is disgraced in the eyes of her fellow sisters and superiors. Following Vaun's trail to the planet Neva, Miriya takes her sisters in pursuit and, along with Hospitalier Sister Verity, starts her investigations.

When they uncover a terrifying plot that could threaten the future of the Imperium, is Miriya's and Verity's faith strong enough for them to triumph?

Great novel for Sororitas fans

A very good insight into sisters lore. This book feels like an Eisenhorn novel, in that the majority of the setting is not on some large battlefield, and there's plenty of secrets for the cast to discover. This allows for a lot of good characterisation of the sororitas characters, and shows them in some unique situations besides shooting a boltgun and praying to the Emperor.

A highlight of this is definitely the narration. Emma Gregory gives an outstanding performance, with both dialogue and exposition. Even male characters sound rugged and masculine enough, which unfortunately some female narrators can't pull off.

I will definitely be listening to the sequel.

A great listen, but only single voice actor.

Enjoyed the story. Shame it was a single voice actor for all characters a nice look in the life of the Sisters of battle and the Imperial Church.

enjoyable.

I've read this novel recently and have to say I enjoyed reading it more than listening to it. Emma Gregory does "strict women" very well but could do with a little more variety. As far as the story goes, it's quite pacey and has some great moments. You can't go far wrong with this.

Great 40k novel, and an interesting story line.

Loved It, and great story of how the sisters of Battle operate.

I wish there are more stories.

The sisters are fierce

a good story and well narrated but I'm not a big fan of the sisters zeal and unwavering almost heretical fervour.

everything I wanted from a sisters of battle story

I loved every second of this book, wonderful detail from James swallow in his writing and an excellent story which managed to showcase a lot of the best elements of the sisters of battle and their order. Emma's telling of it was enthusiastic and passionate, if you are a fan of these fanatic females then you will enjoy it for sure.

My 1st Sisters of Battle book

it was a really good listen, plot twists I've come to expect from Black Library .
Emma Gregorys narration is by far the best and she is rapidly becoming one of my favourite narrators of any BL book
If your new to Sisters of Battle then this is a great way to get into the story lines

Battle Nuns!!

It sounds like a plot for a B movie but the story of the sisters is very interesting and details the fanatical ideology that religion can imbue, I enjoyed this book but at times felt it too long, the narration was very good

A grand book.

A range of interesting characters. Twists and turns at every other chapter. A fine look at the women that serve the divine god-Emperor of mankind.
