In last week’s instalment of our ongoing Horus Heresy lore series, we pulled files about the sinister world of daemonology from the shelves – strictly for academic purposes, you understand. Such malevolent threats require equally powerful foes to keep them in check, and for the Imperium, those warriors are known as the Sisters of Silence.

Find out where the Silent Sisterhood comes from, how they deploy their limited numbers to best effect, and what their status as psychic blanks does to the minds of nearby sorcerers. As partners to the Legio Custodes, Sisters often take part in high-risk operations that require incredible combat skills, so their training regimen forges them into some of the strongest and most skilled fighters in the galaxy.
This extract comes from The Horus Heresy Book Three: Extermination from 2014, which dealt with the aftermath of the Dropsite Massacre and the desperate struggles dragged in its wake. Join us again next week as we peer into the Eye of the Storm and hope it doesn’t look back.
