Resumen del Editor

A Warhammer 40,000 novel

Saint Celestine is one of the greatest heroes of the Dark Imperium, an immortal warrior who returns time and again, even when struck down by a foe, like the Emperor's avenging angel. But what happens when she dies and comes back? Prepare to find out.

Listen to it because
Andy Clark lays bare one of the greatest mysteries of Warhammer 40,000: the trials Saint Celestine must undergo in order to return from death....

The story
With her mighty wings spread wide and Ardent Blade aflame, Saint Celestine is the living embodiment of the God-Emperor’s wrath. Her halo blazes like a star upon the smog-wreathed, blood-soaked battlefields of the 41st Millennium; its holy light leading the faithful to victory time and time again. As heretics and daemons tear at her flesh, she calls down fires of retribution from on high to smite the wicked and unrighteous.

If she is to fall in battle, none should mourn as she is Celestine, the Living Saint, and death is her duty. Though it comes at a great cost. For each time she is slain, Saint Celestine finds herself trapped in a terrible realm of suffering and torment. There her faith in the God-Emperor will be put to the test so she may prove herself worthy of life once more.

Great Book!

Narrorator was fantastic. could tell the difference who was speaking at what time. Story was okay. I loved the time focused on the more human characters and their fears and overcoming them. the end was rather lackluster with its enemies and felt like the Saint really did not need to be there for them to accomplish their mission, but that is an opinion. Give the book a try!

The Author has Clearly Read Pilgrim's Progress

First of all, the narrator did a fantastic job. The lore was an absolute treat.

My mind would be blown if I discovered that the author has not read Bunyan's Pilgrims Progress. The imagery, pacing and direction of the side story practically screams it.

The story sets up the beauty of the ending well. All in all a fantastic piece of literature.

Great performance, “inspired” story.

This story is definitely good, and Emma Gregory did an amazing job with the voice lines, but the story is decently predictable, and “inspired by” the Pilgrim’s Progress, but it is still a great book if you like both Cadian Guard and the Sororitas.

no downsides, only service to the emperor.

A great read with zero nonsense or author failings. partake in this glory and enjoy

It was moving.

It was a great work of literature. this was the first time a book brought me to tears, I do not know what it was but I became aware that tears started flowing down my face, after an hour listening to the audio book. Great writing and a stunning performance by Emma Gregory.

A great listen.

A very interesting pov on being a warp based entity. Also as always....... Cadia Stands!

Amazing Listen! I feel the faith!

A detailed and passionate look into the mystery of the living saint. Well written and wonderfully narrated, this tale will stir something within you. The Emperor Protects.

Great!

Another great audio book, Emma Gregory's petformance never fails to impress. Good cast of characters who we follow from their lowest moment to finding renewed purpose and strength.

really well written and well spoken.

The writing strikes a good balance between detail and efficiency. It makes you emotionally invested in many characters, and there's lots of character development.

Delightful

Great story, fantastic narrator, 5 stars all around.
Emma Gregory absolutely stole the show as much as the story itself.
