The Starsplinters are aeldari corsairs led by the formidable Baron Myrin Stormdawn. As tensions with the Badskab Bukkaneers of Uzgul da Magnificent intensify unpredictably, Myrin must forge a strategic alliance with Taenar Leotharan, a disgraced admiral from his original craftworld, Ilmaren.

Taenar must adjust to the unrestricted existence of a corsair, where liberty carries both opportunity and risk, while Myrin contends with his own trials. With a Starsplinters captain’s power dependent on their previous success and the unpredictable rule of Princess Tishria, Uzgul da Magnificent’s freebooters may prove to be less dangerous than other looming threats.
