Summary
A Warhammer 40,000 audiobook
After centuries of strife guided by the Emperor's holy light, Ephrael Stern finds herself forsaken when the Great Rift dawns and the light is extinguished. When a mysterious stranger offers new hope, the Daemonifuge is thrown into battle once more….
Listen to It Because
Catch up with Ephrael Stern, the Heretic Saint and living weapon against Chaos, in a new novel that picks up the story of this classic character from Black Library's history and thrusts her into the Dark Imperium.
The Story
Throughout the tortured galaxy, Ephrael Stern is known by many names. The Thrice-born. The Daemonifuge. The Heretic Saint. Trapped deep within Imperium Nihilus following the coming of the Great Rift, the maligned Sister of Battle fears the Imperium is no more. The God-Emperor’s light, which has guided her through centuries of strife, has too extinguished. Seemingly forsaken, Stern is bereft until a mysterious stranger arrives, offering her a new destiny. One that might yet see the Imperium saved. Stern must prove herself worthy of the God-Emperor’s grace once more, lest a new threat greater than any mankind has faced before plunge humanity into a nightmare abyss of nothingness.
Written by David Annandale. Narrated by Emma Gregory.

Grandiose tale
Loved it a lot! Had great twists and turns, but the ending was probably the most satisfying of all. Rarely does the grim dark universe have auch happy endings.

Saints Sororitas and Word Bearers!
What more could you ask for! A very intriguing story that I really hope is continued in more books about Ephrael Stern very soon, outstanding narration by Emma Gregory which should come as no surprise 😀

Excellent Tale of the Sisters
I don't know why I picked this up, I'm generally not a fan of the Sisters. They're often a little too preachy, a lot too earnest. Here the author dodges most of this, having the characters show us their faith rather than lecture us on it. This allows the story to dash on at a good clip, to a very good ending. More please Black Library, Mr Annandale, Ms Stern!

Good performance, boring story
Emma Gregory gives a great performance as she always does, but the story doesn't really high stakes or excitement, and doesn't really give much insight into Ephreal as a character.

A good addition to sterns canjon
The story was well paced, and demonstrated the conundrum of being perceived as a heretic Saint and the issues that arise from it.

Nice background for Stern
What I wanted from this book was some greater understanding of who Stern was and what made her tick. It delivered well. Emma Gregory's performance is wonderful, and the story is pretty decent. The characters are more memorable than in many 40k novels. The story is extremely simple, which can be good or bad depending on your preference. I had a good time with it, but I think Celestine is a better entry point for Sisters novels

Meh
The triumphant return of Ephreal Stern is hearlded by a wet fart rather than blaring fanfare. The benchmark for Adepta Sororitas fiction has been significantly raised by 'Mark of Faith' whereby an off screen traversing of the great rift, stilted dialogue between Sisters and meaningless monologues about faith fall way short.
If you are searching for an asinine justification for Stern to enter the Indomitus Era this is the book. If you want decent Sisters of Battle fiction then look elsewhere.

Started good, then plunged to genericness
Sisters of Battle are hard to write about, they're all so indoctrinated it's hard to make interesting characters.
This story started out excellently, but after a great introduction it becomes clear that the only purpose of the rest of the book is to drive a narrative that will fit the best of Black Library's stories, without much of an attempt to develop other characters it just carries the rest of the story with Guy Haley Action book style violence.
Such a shame, big fan of David Annandale normally!
