Beasts of the Burnished Chain

“Beasts” features Sister Portoles, a war nun of the Burnished Chain. A secondary character in the main series, she does well as the star of her own (horrible) episode. Portoles and her equally warped (literally: the Burnished Chain likes to carve up its own disciples) comrades are chasing rebels through the countryside. But a straightforward mission goes awry, and soon Portoles is dealing with deadly fruit, deadlier monsters and - worst of all - moral uncertainty. For a war nun, the latter cuts at the very core of her being.
