The story
To tame the Great Rift splitting the galaxy, Archmagos Belisarius Cawl convenes a council on the artificial world of Pontus Avernes. Confident in his brilliance, he hopes to persuade the Imperium’s finest minds to aid him in deciphering the pylon network—ancient constructs that could counter the warp’s deadly pull.
But among the invited is an unanticipated intruder: Fabius Bile. The Pater Mutatis needs no recognition for his genius and pursues his own secretive agendas, setting the stage for a monumental clash of intellects. In this battle of the galaxy’s greatest scientific minds, only one can emerge triumphant.
