Apostle (Paperback)

Enter the grim darkness of the far future with Apostle, a Warhammer 40,000 novel by David Annandale that follows the return of one of the Word Bearers' most dangerous servants. This 304-page paperback plunges readers into the conflict between the forces of Chaos and the fiercely devoted servants of the Imperial Creed.

Legitur is a world devoted to the sacred writings of the Emperor, producing vast quantities of scripture beneath the watchful authority of the Ecclesiarchy. But beneath its outward devotion lie secrets that could threaten the entire world. Into this environment returns Cerastes, Dark Apostle of the Word Bearers, carrying a personal grudge and a far darker plan.

Cerastes' previous host was crushed by Palatine Aesura and the Sororitas of the Order of the Thorn, but defeat has done little to diminish his ambition. Determined to exact his revenge, he seeks to resurrect the terrifying Eightfold Bane and turn Legitur toward the worship of Chaos. As revolution begins to take hold, the faithful inhabitants of the world face a battle that could transform everything they believe in.

Written by David Annandale, Apostle is an excellent choice for fans of the Word Bearers, Chaos Space Marines, Adepta Sororitas, and the darker corners of Warhammer 40,000 fiction. Its combination of religious fanaticism, Chaos corruption, revenge, and apocalyptic conflict makes it a compelling addition to any Black Library collection.
