THE STORY
In the darkest corners of the Webway lies the Dark City of Commorragh. Here dwell the sadistic Drukhari, and in the sands of their arenas, millions die to sate their terrible bloodlust.
Their greatest warrior is Lelith Hesperax, the Queen of Knives and the deadliest gladiatrix in the galaxy. But she has left the Dark City and joined the nomadic death cult of Ynnead. In her absence, upstarts try to usurp her bloody throne.

But when a blade flashes from the shadows, Lelith must return to Commorragh and becomes entangled in the murderous game of the Living Muse – Asdrubael Vect. The Queen of Knives gets caught in his web of intrigues, and this time she might need more than her blades to free herself.
