READ IT BECAUSE
Follow the daughter of legendary commander Usarker Creed back to the scene of a galactic crime, and see how she deals with her father's legacy and the pressure that the name 'Creed' brings.
THE STORY
What does it mean to be Cadian after the Fall? Ursula Creed has come to terms with the loss of her home world. For decades she has built a glittering career in the furthest reaches of the Imperium, far from her legendary father’s shadow. But when unexpected orders arrive from the Avenging Son himself, Roboute Guilliman, the new Lord Castellan realises that the past may not be ready to let her go.
Dispatched to the shattered remains of Cadia in search of Ursarkar E. Creed’s final battle plans, Ursula finds the planet a hellscape full of deadly secrets. What horrors claim Cadia’s corpse as their domain? What became of those left behind? What orders did Creed leave for Cadia when all was lost? And, most troubling of all, how can she succeed where her illustrious father has already failed?
Written by Jude Reid.
Customer Reviews
Creed Rises from the Ashes of Cadia
A very fun read that kept me hooked, cover to cover. I really enjoyed how the Emperor’s Tarot was woven into the structure of the book - an inspired choice!
Ursula Creed is a compelling character and ultimately forges a name for herself apart from her storied father, despite the odds. Her squad truly shines as well (I grew very attached to them all, particularly Laskari, as time wore on) and I hope they return for the next stage in due time.
This tightly paced, bloody novel certainly puts the characters under significant strain as they try to salvage themselves and maybe something more from the Ashes of Cadia. If we get more (and I hope we do!) I’d love to see Creed’s strategic and tactical expertise have a chance to shine more - it would have been interesting to see how things play out had she taken a larger role in planning the operation. Really can’t wait to see Laskari come into her own.
