A Warhammer 40,000 Novel

Khemet, a disgraced praetorian charged with protecting her tomb world as it slumbers, is roused to action once more. This is her chance to prove she is meant for greater things. She will stop at nothing to see it done.

Read It Because
It's a chance to see the necron empire in a new way. Join a lowly cryptek with lofty ambitions and a praetorian suffering from the worst punishment imaginable – can they work together to reclaim a necron planet now infested with humans?

The Story
As the necron empire sleeps, the Triarch praetorians watch and wait.

Khemet has guarded the tombs of her people for millions of years, patiently waiting for the day when the numberless legions of the dead will rise again. As they finally begin to stir, old ambitions and treacheries are roused with them.

Betrayed and imprisoned, dogged by the shame of a terrible failure, Khemet has endured the gravest punishment necron ingenuity can conjure. Now she is free, offered a single chance to restore her honour and reclaim her standing. For Khemet to rise, a world must die.

Written by Jonathan D Beer.
