A Warhammer 40,000 Novel Helbrecht sees a future of the Imperium renewed and free of the Ruinous Powers. Yet when he must form an unpalatable alliance with the Leagues of Votann, he questions if it is worth the sacrifice to heal what damage has been done to the Imperium. READ IT BECAUSE Experience what happens when High Marshal Helbrecht of the Black Templars fights to find his place in a changed order. Just how far is this zealous yet pragmatic warrior willing to go? THE STORY 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. Written by Mike Vincent.
