What goes on beneath the smog and sprawl of an Imperial hive city? They’re as varied as the worlds on which they’re built, but soon you can delve into the dark and brutal depths of Sacramentus in Hive – a new two-part novel by the inimitable Dan Abnett.
The planetary governor has fallen amidst scandal and treachery, and the city chokes under the oppressive austerity of Imperial life while roving Adeptus Arbites patrols enforce the Lex Imperialis without so much as a hint of pity. The newly crowned replacement has a lot to contend with – not least that they are an outsider to this rough and dogmatic city – and already whispers of rebellion reach the upper spires.
Who are the people planting seeds of anarchy beneath the sprawl of Sacramentus? Could they topple the new governor’s regime before it gets moving? Are they even the greatest threat lurking below?
Hive is coming out later this year as a two-book set, so keep your eyes trained on Warhammer Community to find out when it will be released.
