Book 9 of the Dawn of Fire Series
As the opening campaign of the Indomitus Crusade nears its end, much of Imperium Sanctus lies once again under Imperial rule—though tenuously so. Yet even as victories are claimed, Roboute Guilliman is beset by war on all sides. His ambition to traverse the Great Rift and bring salvation to Imperium Nihilus burns fiercely, but a new surge of enemy attacks in Ultramar threatens to pull him back to his own domain.
WHY YOU SHOULD READ IT
This climactic volume brings the Dawn of Fire saga to a thunderous conclusion. Can Guilliman overcome an awakening xenos empire? Has the Indomitus Crusade already faltered before its true purpose could be fulfilled? And with the Imperium split in two, is unity even possible?
THE NARRATIVE
Before he can return to Ultramar, the Avenging Son is forced to divert his forces southward into the galactic void. The necron threat is growing rapidly, and ominous signs point to an ancient and powerful force stirring in the shadows. Years ago, Battlefleet Kallides ventured into the mysterious Pariah Nexus and has not been heard from since. Now, as necron dynasties align under a single purpose, dark whispers speak of the Silent King’s return—and the galaxy may never be the same.
