THE STORY

Raldoron, First Captain of the Blood Angels, is famed throughout the Imperium as one of the greatest swordsmen among the Space Marine Legions. Calm, calculating, and decisive, he possesses extraordinary discipline — but beneath that controlled exterior lies a violent and bloody past.

As Sanguinius leads the Imperial Reprisal Fleet toward the Garmon Cluster in an attempt to slow Horus's relentless advance on Terra, Raldoron is forced to depend on newly raised inductii, recruiting warriors from the cluster's numerous war zones as quickly as possible.

These inexperienced warriors could become the future of the Blood Angels, provided they can follow Raldoron's example and learn to master the Red Thirst. Yet their savage instincts threaten to drag the Legion back toward its darkest origins, exposing the long-buried horrors of the Revenant Legion once more to the galaxy.
