Shadows in the Sand (Warhammer 40,000)
He came from the sand and the silence, carrying yesterday’s ghosts.
The Imperium of Man endures through faith, fear, and the carcasses of a thousand forgotten worlds.
On one of them — a dust-choked frontier called Morrak II — survival depends on keeping the pumps running and the storms at bay. Elissa Brandt has done both for longer than anyone should have to: leading the half-starved town of Dusthaven, bartering with machine-priests who no longer remember their own miracles.
To the survivors of Dusthaven, he is a miracle worker.
To the Mechanicus, a heresy.
To the galaxy, a glitch that should not exist.
As war brews between ancient gods, deranged prophets, and broken machines, Dusthaven’s salvation has a pulse, a secret — and a past older than the Imperium itself.
A tale of survival, found family, and the fragile light of humanity in the far future’s darkest hour.
