Cover Description

In the nightmare industrial underworld of Necromunda, brutal gangs clash in desperate battles to increase their standing with the rich decadent families who occupy the uppermost spire of their teeming hive city. D'onne 'Mad Donna' Ulanti is a loose cannon, an unhinged maniac with a vicious streak a mile wide. Yet, unknown to many, she began her life as the daughter of a noble, high up in the spire. When a mysterious guilder approaches her with secrets to her past, D'onne and her Escher allies are thrust into a fight for survival where treachery, deceit and murder are the least of her troubles!

Description

D’onne Ulanti is an outlaw and a maniac, known amongst the scum of Necromunda as ‘Mad Donna’, as her uncontrollable and violent nature makes her a dangerous and unpredictable ally.

However, it looks like time has finally caught up with D’onne when a figure from her mysterious past approaches her, but all he reveals is that she’s been sold out. Barely escaping with her life, D’onne is mad as hell and hungry for vengeance. The Underhive will shake to its foundations as D’onne seeks to even the score.
