The disparate splinters of the Emperor’s Children eke out a violent, hedonistic existence between the stars, raiding and ravaging worlds according to their appetites. Seeking sensation above all else, life is vicious and short-lived for the sons of the III Legion. But for proud Xantine, leader of the Adored and a true son of Fulgrim, pillaging backwater worlds is simply not enough. He wants more, and soon finds what he has been searching for.

It is a world characterised by cruelty and inequality, and one that sits upon a stockpile of rejuvenat treatments destined for the Imperium’s most rich and powerful. Too tantalising a prize to ignore, the Adored set out to bring perfection to Serrine. But perfection is an elusive concept, and threats soon make themselves known as they begin to expose the rot at the heart of Xantine’s perfect rule.
