About this listen

An Adepta Sororitas audiobook.

Valorous Heart. Our Martyred Lady. Bloody Rose. These names of Adepta Sororitas orders are famed across the galaxy, as are the Battle Sisters who serve the emperor's will.

Listen to it because: the three tales in this volume encompass the bold actions of the Sisterhood across the Imperium as they defend Humanity in the God-Emperor's name.

The story: to die in the name of the God-Emperor of Mankind is to live eternal, and none are more willing to bleed in his name than the Adepta Sororitas - the Sisters of Battle. The Book of Martyrs charts the deaths of these exemplars. Sister Ishani of the Orders Hospitaller, serving alongside the death-obsessed Valorous Heart, tends to her Ecclesiarchy charges as something inhuman hunts the fields. Sister Anarchia of the Order of Our Martyred Lady, taken captive by the vile T’au Empire, seeks to teach her interrogators what it truly means to be one of the faithful. On a regressed Imperial world, Sister Superior Laurelyn of the Order of the Bloody Rose reinforces the beleaguered defenders against a familiar foe turned anew by the Great Rift. And in the age of the Indomitus Crusade, with the galaxy split in two, only one thing is certain - there will be no shortage of martyrs to fill the pages of this ancient tome.

Written by Danie Ware, Alec Worley and Phil Kelly. Narrated by Harry Myers. Runtime 11 hours one minute.

Amazing anthology which captures the faith and zeal of the sisters of battle perfectly. Amazing first and second story wasn't as invested with the third yet was still very good however seemed a little rushed by the end and I couldn't get as invested with the character. Got to say though the first story is my favourite,

The Only Good Heretic Is A Dead Heretic.

The second story by Phil Kelly was the strongest by some margin, and it's a nice change of pace for the aliens to fear the humans for their strength and toughness rather than the other way about for once. The third story by Danie Ware was the weakest, probably in part due to the narrator trying very hard to sound earnest and yearning during any Sister's dialogue, but also from the writing spending a surprising amount of time during any given action sequence getting distracted and describing something else. On the whole, worth a listen, but I feel like the book peaked early and finished weaker than it might have.
