READ IT BECAUSE
Not only does this novel continue the story from the epic opening trilogy, it introduces one of the key figures of the series to come: Nathaniel Garro. His destiny might be murky (and clad in grey), but for now he's a simple Death Guard captain. Find out what drove him from his Legion. Also, Rogal Dorn finds out about Horus' treachery.
