Veterans Of The Fall (Pb)

Elite soldiers. Legends of survival. Ghosts of a fallen empire.

After Cadia's collapse, a band of hardened Kasrkin survivors—the Tattershields—became the last bastion of Imperial resistance on a fractured world. Led by Sergeant Kostantin Taikon, they wage a desperate fight through sabotage and discipline against overwhelming odds. Yet Taikon carries the weight of guilt and despair, fighting not for victory but merely to endure. As infiltrators fracture their ranks and new horrors close in, only grim resolve keeps them standing.

Their foothold crumbles by the day. Traitors work from within while a merciless foe tightens the noose. Yet with hope extinguished, defiance becomes their final weapon—and Taikon will drive his unbreakable Kasrkin forward until the very end.

This William Crowe collection includes the novella Veterans of the Fall, the complete Tatters of Hope serial (originally published in White Dwarf), and the short story Tattershield.
