Molam longs to return home after successfully stealing from the Empire. But the enigmatic Oracle dangles it just out of reach, assigning him another task: to steal wood from the sacred World Tree from the Empire.

The task sends Molam to an Empire city on the brink of collapse, its inhabitants desperate to survive the impending Winter's Sorrow. United with a group of allies handpicked by the Oracle, Molam realizes he is the Oracle's last piece in a decades-long plan to thwart the Empire's relentless ambition to reach Heaven.

Continually at risk of having his lack of aura exposed, Molam relies on his wits to navigate powerful individuals with misdirection and a facade of powers. To obtain the group's help and trust, he must balance his new responsibilities against his deeper, more personal goals.

While this is fanfiction for Warhammer 40k/Warhammer: the Horus Heresy (it’s a whole thing ask about it at your own risk), I like to think that prior knowledge of the universe is not required for full enjoyment. If you'd like to learn more about something I mention ask about it in the comments!

Note for Warhammer nerds: this fic does take place during the Horus Heresy, however, I have never read any of the books and I do not intend to. If I commit a lore crime, you are welcome to call me out, but note that I am not bound by the cannon. (For example: I will include female space marines. If you don’t like it then please keep that to yourself! Thanks!)

Author's note:

In this story, I intend to integrate elements from shows I love-- gundam, modern sci-fi shows such as 'The Expanse', add strategic elements from shows such as legend of galactic heroes. These elements might be political intrigue, more technological development, robotics, cyberpunk, character development, rationality. Ultimately, I want the story to end up with a strong sense of hope despite the horrors of conflict. <<less
