Description

When a sorcerous plague ravages War Zone Metalica, the Adepta Sororitas forces under Palatine Erika Luminas must race to find the bones of an Imperial saint. With them, they’ll bolster a protective ward around the sector’s most vital cities. Unluckily for them, they’re about to step into the gladiatorial event of the century.^[3]

While the Adepta Sororitas are trying to save an entire sector, Lelith Hesperax is embarking on a quest of equally vital importance: making a really good spectacle filled with various entertainments. To prove once and for all that she’s the best gladiator in the shockingly lethal city of Commorragh, Lelith turned the city of Purity into a deadly arena full of traps and called in the cream of Drukhari nobility* to watch her acrobatic displays of wanton murder.^[3]
