The Saint is the second sub-grouping of Dan Abnett’s Gaunt’s Ghosts series, covering novels from Honour Guard (2001) through to Sabbat Martyr (2003) and the short fiction associated with this period. The defining element of The Saint collection is the presence of the Beati, a reincarnated warrior-saint who becomes a focal point for the Imperial Crusade’s efforts to reclaim the Sabbat Worlds from Chaos.

Honour Guard sends Gaunt on a mission to protect the Beati and retrieve an ancient Imperial relic. The Guns of Tanith and Straight Silver continue the regiment’s campaigns as the crusade expands. Sabbat Martyr brings the Beati storyline to a climax at the iconic world of Herodor. The Saint sub-collection is generally considered the most action-dense and thematically rich stretch of the early Gaunt’s Ghosts sequence. Readers should begin with The Founding collection before moving to The Saint, as character relationships established in the opening novels are central to this period’s impact.
