Driven by duty and faith, Helbrecht glimpses what might yet be: an Imperium wholly renewed. But the risk is great, for in order to seize such a prize he must rally his Chapter and the Elysian troops of the Astra Militarum against the unholy terrors of the Ruinous Powers.

When fate – or providence – grants the High Marshal a distasteful ally in the Leagues of Votann, he must ask himself what he is willing to forsake in the pursuit of triumph. Helbrecht knows the meaning of sacrifice well, but rekindling this ancient glory may push him to the very brink.
