Announcing The Trials of Sister Roslyn




All Sister Roslyn expected was a quiet life. As a Sister of a long forgotten Convent on a peaceful Agri-World, she assumed her career would involve Harvest Festivals, Weddings and Confessions. However, when The Order of the Weeping Martyr comes calling for recruits, she is given no choice but to become a fully fledged Battle Sister. As Roslyn contends with the order's brutal training regimen, bitter rivalries with her fellow sisters, and the cycles of trauma and abuse that drive the Imperium of Man, she wonders how long she can survive as her destiny draws ever closer: To serve the Emperor on the Battlefield.

Sometimes the expanded works of worlds you are a fan of can well exceed your exceptions, sometimes you're just left wanting. I'm not here to trash talk Black Library, but sometimes there are stories that you want to see out there, and you're left with no other option than to write it your own damn self.

The Trials of Sister Roslyn is a 17 chapter story set in the Warhammer 40'000 universe. It's inspired by more obvious influences like the classic Warhammer Monthly comic, but also more contemporary inspirations, ranging as far as Orange is the New Black and Brigador.

I'm planning on releasing each chapter on a weekly basis (Which should mean the chapter concerning Emperor's Day will coincide with Christmas), and I'll put an update here at the end of each month collecting what's been posted.

Finally, let me just give a big thank you to Windlass, who worked tirelessly on the cover and I couldn't be happier with it. Thanks again!

And so, without further ado, if you want to check the story out you can start with the Prologue and Chapter one posted at AO3 right here.

Thanks for reading, and may the Emperor have mercy on our souls.
