Warning a lot of pages are still a WIP!
Hello! I’m Viper (she/her), a 25-year-old Warhammer 40k obsessed human. I’ve been an avid fan of 40k for the past 4 years which has now filled my life with miniatures, books, games, and merchandise. As an expression of my passion for this universe, I wanted to finally try and bring my own fan-OCs to life and build a story that’ll hopefully reach a fraction of how good the best of Black Library is. ♥
Disclaimer I am the absolute definition of an amateur, I have no background in writing so everything is a learning process for me. If you’re expecting Dan Abnett levels of story I’m afraid I can’t compete! Nonetheless I hope you will still enjoy my writing :D
Feel free to send me a message on my socials about what you think of my writing! I would love to hear your opinion!
After the Archenemy slaughters her world, young Zareen inherits her father’s Knight—and its cursed secret. Bound to Inquisitor Phoebe, she battles horrors across the sector, unaware that the relic festering in her Knight’s core could drown the stars in war. But is it a weapon… or a doom?
CW: Contains 40k-appropriate levels of violence, blood and gore!
This is my first novel that I began writing May 2025. Its still a work in progress and there might still be typos!
Never Miss a Chapter!
