W40K - The Rose in the Darkness

Warhammer 40,000 - Adepta Sororitas: The Rose in the Darkness

On the glittering shrine-world of Opal, dedicated to the saints and soldiers of the Imperium, Sister Superior Augusta of the Order of the Blood Rose arrives with her squad on a sacred mission: to recover the skull of the venerated Saint Veres. In the full bustle of the capital's greatest festival, where the Emperor is celebrated in lavish fashion, the procession conceals a darker reality. Behind the decorations and hymns, the planetary authority is smothering rising tensions, while rebel attacks are ravaging the outskirts.

Charged with protecting faith and order, Augusta soon discovers signs of a more insidious corruption. A Genestealer cult has infiltrated beneath the surface of society, manipulating the masses and sowing doubt at the heart of institutions. For the Sisters of Battle, one truth becomes clear: where a xenos cult prospers, the arrival of a Tyranid hive fleet is never far behind. If nothing is done, Opal could be doomed.
