A Warhammer 40,000 Novel
Archmagos Belisarius Cawl, one of the Imperium's greatest scientific minds, embarks on a daring mission to secure a route through the Great Rift. To complete his ambitious project, he must recover ancient technology from a necron tomb world—an undertaking that draws the attention of powerful enemies far older and more dangerous than he anticipated.
A Race to Reunite the Imperium
As the Imperium struggles to remain connected across the galaxy, Belisarius Cawl pursues an audacious plan to stabilise the Attilan Gap and establish a reliable passage into Imperium Nihilus. With Roboute Guilliman isolated beyond the Cicatrix Maledictum, the success of Cawl's mission could shape the future of Humanity itself.
An Impossible Mission
To complete his greatest work, Cawl must retrieve vital control codes hidden within an ancient necron world suspended on the edge of a black hole. Recognising that the challenge exceeds even his remarkable abilities, he gathers allies from across the Adeptus Mechanicus to aid the expedition. But as success comes within reach, ancient necrons, the corrupting forces of Chaos, and the sinister Vashtorr the Arkifane all threaten to derail his plans.
