Destiny is a funny business, and this tale by Matthew Farrer shows just how difficult it can be to achieve the fate you think is yours – especially when the Chaos Gods are involved…



THE STORY

De Haan, Chaplain of the Word Bearers has a destiny – and when it is fulfilled, he will see the aeldari craftworld of Varantha burn. His quest for power and immortality takes him to an Exodite world, where he and his warriors must face the infernal trickery of the xenos. But will De Haan's formidable faith in himself see him through, or is his entire destiny in peril?
