Reconstruction of the Fables

An Astra Militarum Novel

Once a Cadian captain, Glavia Aerand’s psychic talents see her pressed into service in a new role, to fight and die as a sanctioned psyker.

READ IT BECAUSE
This story offers a rare glimpse into the mysterious process of becoming a sanctioned psyker in the service of the Golden Throne, and you’ll learn what that means for those who are found strong enough to serve.

THE STORY
Suffer not the witch to live, unless by their service they might earn redemption. This is the creed of the Scholastica Psykana, a brutal foundry in which those with psychic power might be taught to serve. On the eve of her sanctioning as a primaris psyker within these very halls, Glavia Aerand, former captain of the Cadian 900th Regiment, receives a startling premonition – one concerning her old unit, and a dangerous psychic artefact hidden on the planet where they are deployed.

After a reunion she never expected – or wanted – Aerand finds herself mired in a vicious campaign on the psychically active world of Visage, where the shallow seas and endless fogs are rumoured to swallow the souls of the dead. Haunted by growing suspicions of her new commander and the manifestations of the sinister relic, Aerand must trust in her new-found abilities to keep her former comrades alive, and confront an ancient threat that could consume Visage entirely.

The Astra Militarum are the backbone of the Imperium’s largest armies. They are the men and women who hold the line, a bulwark that stands between humanity and a nightmarish galaxy of horrors. Amongst the Astra Militarum’s massed regiments, the born soldiers of Cadia are some of the most disciplined warriors to be found, tough marksmen trained for a lifetime of grim duty. Through generations of war, braving unimaginable odds, and even the destruction of their home world, one thing remains true while even a single Cadian draws breath – Cadia stands!

A Death Korps Novel

The Death Korps of Krieg are deployed to a soul-crushing siege in the Octarius War Zone. They’re the right regiment for the job – though victory may come at a price that some might baulk to pay.

READ IT BECAUSE
Steve Lyons lifts the mask on the enigmatic Death Korps of Krieg, to show us the true horror that lies at the heart of this storied regiment. If you’re looking for a meat-grinder war, you’ve found it.

THE STORY
Krieg is a dead world. Fifteen hundred years ago, it declared its independence from the Imperium of Man, and paid the price. One loyal soul defied its treacherous rulers, and laid the world to waste. From these ashes emerged a unique fighting force, forged and tempered in nuclear fire…

Today, the Death Korps of Krieg lay siege to a captured hive ctiy on the outskirts of the system-spanning Octarius War, in a desperate attempt to secure the cordon that stops untold masses of Orks and Tyranids from spilling out into the Imperium at large. The Korpsmen are relentless, ruthless, implacable, and unstoppable, even in the face of a war that seems unwinnable. How far will they go to achieve victory, and is history doomed to repeat itself?
