BoLS Book Club: Custodians, Sisters, and Greyfax Oh My
Two new releases, two great team-ups.
That’s right, team-ups are the name of the game in the latest batch of new releases from the Black Library. Custodes and Sororitas, Greyfax and the Grey Knights, it’s a regular Hana Barbera cartoon crossover spectacular over here. First up, we have team Latin, who are charged with dealing with a threat to the Golden Throne.
Though to be fair, a lot of things are threatening to a chair.

THE STORY
The Custodian Guard have stood watch over the Emperor’s Palace on Terra since the foundation of the Imperium. Charged with protecting the Master of Mankind from all threats, within and without, their fearsome resolve is renowned throughout the galaxy, and their golden armour is the last thing that a would-be assassin or saboteur will ever see. Alongside the Null-maidens of the Sisters of Silence, who are anathema to psykers and sorcerers alike, there is no threat to the Golden Throne that they alone cannot vanquish… until now.
