Apostle | Black Library

Apostle is a gripping Warhammer 40,000 novel that explores the sinister conflict between devotion and damnation. Written by David Annandale, the story follows the world of Legitur, a planet entirely devoted to the sacred writings of the Imperial Creed and home to sprawling paper macro‑hives. Beneath its pious façade, however, lie horrifying secrets unknown even to the Ecclesiarchy.

A Dark Apostle Returns

Cerastes, a ruthless Dark Apostle of the Word Bearers, returns to his former home seeking vengeance and spiritual conquest. Though previously defeated by the formidable Palatine Aesura and her Sisters of the Order of the Thorn, Cerastes is far from finished. His goal: awaken the Eightfold Bane and bend Legitur to the worship of Chaos.

As rebellion smolders and hidden truths rise to the surface, the world is thrust toward a catastrophic reckoning. Faith, fanaticism, and corruption collide in a tale steeped in the grim darkness of the far future.
