A new novel in the Warhammer 40,000 series, dedicated to the infamous Order of the Soul Drinkers. For the first time in Russian! The Order, which inherited the blood of the Emperor's great warrior, primarch Rogal Dorn, paid a high price for trying to return the spear of the Soul. Caught in the nets set by Chaos, the Soul Drinkers underwent monstrous mutations and were excommunicated from the Imperium. They are hunted, and the Order is forced to confront everyone - the Imperium, Chaos and the corruption that has nestled in their bodies. Meanwhile, Inquisitor Thaddeus and his squads of Sisters of Battle are on the trail of the rebel Space Marines. However, irreconcilable enemies can become friends for a short time in the face of a common threat. And such a threat is not long in coming - a powerful demon appears in the Imperium, who sows plague, puts the dead at his service and promises to destroy the Universe. The Soul Drinkers must win - or disappear forever from the pages of history, having drunk their cup of sorrow to the bottom.
