The Whispering Blade

An Inquisition Short Story


There is no time for peace. No forgiveness. No respite. There is only war.


The galaxy writhes in the mailed fist of all-consuming conflict. The Imperium of Mankind teeters on the brink of annihilation, beset upon all sides by heretic warlords, daemon-summoning witches and rapacious alien empires. In every star system and upon every planet, fierce battle rages as loyalists, heretics and aliens tear reality itself apart in their war for dominance. Every day the flames rise higher.


This is a more terrible era than ever before, and there is no peace amongst the stars...

It’s a cat-and-mouse chase with potentially lethal consequences.


THE STORY

A deserter from the Imperial Guard, in hiding on an agri-world and in possession of a xenotech artefact, is worried that the Inquisition has finally found him.
