✦ Synopsis

Warhammer 40,000
A Brother's Confession by Robbie MacNiven
Polixis, an Ultramarines Apothecary from a Primaris strike force, seeks penance after a recent combat operation. During the mission, he was forced to make an impossible choice - fulfill his sacred duty and save a single brother's gene-seed, or rescue a human non-combatant without whose vital bloodline the war effort cannot possibly succeed. As Polixis relives the past, he discovers that the answer to his dilemma lies not in any divine judgement, but at the very heart of the purpose of the Adeptus Astartes, and their relationship with humanity.

Warhammer Age of Sigmar
The Dance of the Skulls by David Annandale
To safeguard her own political position, it is vital for vampire queen Neferata to keep her two neighbouring regions, Mortannis and Nachtwache, at odds with each other. When she is invited to a ball hosted by the other two rulers, she suspects a trap - but what form will it come in, and when? Neferata must use all her powers of guile and cunning, as well as her ferocious fighting skills, to survive, and turn the situation back to her advantage.
