Witness the opening strike in the Urdesh duology—a searing tale of war, faith, and desperation. The Iron Snakes stand against the Chaos tide in a warzone where saints walk and traitors whisper. What does it mean to carry a miracle through hell?

THE STORY
The forge-world of Urdesh is a crucible of smoke and blood. Its burning cities and volcanic wastes are the battleground for a war that may decide the fate of the Sabbat Worlds Crusade. At the heart of this inferno, something sacred stirs—Saint Sabbat has returned.

Damocles Squad of the Iron Snakes, led by the unyielding Brother-Captain Priad, are tasked with safeguarding the Beati—this living incarnation of the Emperor’s light. Her presence alone turns the tide of battle, filling the hearts of Imperial soldiers with renewed fury and faith.

But Urdesh is not merely a battlefield—it is a trap. The forces of the Archenemy, led by the malevolent Anarch and his unseen master, close in with plans of corruption and subversion. In the shifting chaos of prophecy, fire, and betrayal, the Iron Snakes must fight not just to protect a world—but to guard the soul of the Imperium itself.
