Book overview
Raldoron is considered one of the greatest swordsmen in the galaxy, but can this peerless warrior face the sins of the past and lead an army of raw recruits to victory against treacherous former allies?
Raldoron, First Captain of the Blood Angels, is renowned the Imperium over as one of the greatest swordsmen in all the Space Marine Legions. Though outwardly calm, calculating and decisive, the Archein of Wisdom's iron self-control hides a bloody past.
As the primarch Sanguinius leads the Imperial Reprisal Fleet to the Garmon Cluster to slow the traitor Horus' relentless advance upon Terra, Raldoron is forced to rely on unblooded inductii, rapidly recruiting as many men as possible from the cluster's warzones. These new warriors could very well be the future of the Blood Angels, if they can follow the Archein's shining example and master the Red Thirst. But their violent nature threatens a return to the past, revealing the half-forgotten horrors of the Revenant Legion for all the galaxy to see...
