Publisher's Summary

A Warhammer 40,000 audiobook

After centuries of strife guided by the Emperor's holy light, Ephrael Stern finds herself forsaken when the Great Rift dawns and the light is extinguished. When a mysterious stranger offers new hope, the Daemonifuge is thrown into battle once more….

Listen to It Because

Catch up with Ephrael Stern, the Heretic Saint and living weapon against Chaos, in a new novel that picks up the story of this classic character from Black Library's history and thrusts her into the Dark Imperium.

The Story

Throughout the tortured galaxy, Ephrael Stern is known by many names. The Thrice-born. The Daemonifuge. The Heretic Saint. Trapped deep within Imperium Nihilus following the coming of the Great Rift, the maligned Sister of Battle fears the Imperium is no more. The God-Emperor’s light, which has guided her through centuries of strife, has too extinguished. Seemingly forsaken, Stern is bereft until a mysterious stranger arrives, offering her a new destiny. One that might yet see the Imperium saved. Stern must prove herself worthy of the God-Emperor’s grace once more, lest a new threat greater than any mankind has faced before plunge humanity into a nightmare abyss of nothingness.

Written by David Annandale. Narrated by Emma Gregory.

Next episode on dragon ball z

Stern is a rather unlikable character in this book unfortunately, she bumbles through the story and mostly gets through problems by accident or plot armour. (which gets so Mary Sue at some points that she literally just goes super sayan as she scream about her faith whenever she gets in any serious trouble.)
Seriously, the way it's written we don't need primaris marines or Bobby G. Just throw Stern, Draigo, Creed and Batman at the chaos gods.

Having poked holes in the story.. the writing overall is good enough, excellent pacing and properly grim dark characters that get you involved. And Emma (narrator) is EPIC and does all the characters justice in her own way.

Boring and avoid

Just a poor plot and very bland with problems solved by plot armour, very bland reading of the book also.
