Series background & context
James Swallow's Sisters of Battle stories follow Sister Miriya of the Adepta Sororitas, the warrior arm of the Imperial faith. These are Warhammer 40,000 stories about devotion, suspicion, heresy, and the price of serving an empire that does not forgive weakness.
Faith and Fire is the best starting point. It sends Miriya after a dangerous rogue psyker and brings in Sister Verity, whose role gives the story more texture than simple bolter fire. Hammer and Anvil continues Miriya's path with a mission tied to the haunted legacy of Sanctuary 101.
The tone is grim, direct, and full of religious intensity. Faith is not decoration here. It is the weapon, the comfort, and sometimes the problem.
