Product description
Sergeant Darya Nevic is a celebrated Cadian sniper, but the fame earned through her battlefield victories has become another burden to carry. During the Cadian 217th's assault on the manufactorum world of Attruso, she is forced to look beyond the view through her rifle scope and accept responsibility for the soldiers placed under her command.

As a deadly winter closes around the regiment and casualties continue to rise, Darya enters a conflict fought with persuasion and doubt as much as with weapons. She must decide whether to become the symbol her soldiers desperately need or listen to the seemingly impossible promises offered by the mysterious T'au Empire.

Written by Rob Young, Longshot explores the human cost of war through the eyes of an Astra Militarum soldier struggling with leadership, loyalty and unwanted fame. Every decision carries consequences, and a single wrong choice could determine the fate of Darya's entire regiment.

Why read it?

• A soldier's perspective - experience the brutal reality of Warhammer 40,000 through an Astra Militarum sniper rather than a superhuman warrior.
• A compelling protagonist - follow Darya Nevic as she confronts the responsibilities hidden behind her legendary reputation.
• Difficult moral choices - discover a conflict shaped by loyalty, command and the promises of the T'au Empire.
• Military science fiction - combine sniper action, harsh winter warfare and the pressure of commanding soldiers in a desperate campaign.
• The beginning of Darya's story - read her first adventure before continuing with Ghosts of Cadia.

For Astra Militarum and Black Library collectors
