Reborn in body and spirit beneath Mount Deathfire, the primarch Vulkan gathers his most trusted sons and prepares for the final part of his journey.
The Legions shattered at Isstvan V have stalled the Warmaster’s advance across the galaxy, but fresh cracks are spreading through the alliance between the Iron Hands, Salamanders and Raven Guard, along with mysterious rumours of the return of Ferrus Manus. Haunted by a sense of destiny unfulfilled, Vulkan must choose between joining their war of vengeance against the traitors and following his own barely understood path all the way to the Throneworld itself.

The Bad:
- The Iron Hands
Overall, I enjoyed this book thoroughly. I would have liked a lot more about the Salamanders - they always get left a bit short in my opinion. Those who are included, though, get a wealth of beautiful pose slid their way. Some of the descriptions are mind blowing. There were points where I cried.
On the flip side, the Iron Hands feel very two dimensional. Maybe this is the point, but they were just irritating and if I re-read I will probably skip some of their chunks. To be frank, the Shattered Legions side of things felt a bit like tying up loose ends rather than telling a good story.
Keeble’s performance was, as always, amazing.

That said, I genuinely thought it was pretty good. Yes, some of the characters were flat. No I’m not sure I needed so much Iron 10th stuff along the way. But given where the universe is now in the 41st Millennium and Eldrad’s work to awake Ynnead, watching him twist fate 11,000 years earlier - presumably to set events on a course that could lead to the creation of the Ynnari - is pretty dope.
The series generally lacks character and personality. The Primarchs and factions are intended to be living manifestations of their play style and the existing cannon limits some decision making. That said, Vulkan is the exception. The author does a passable job showing his compassion (more telling than showing at times, though) but this ultimately represents one of the biggest changes to the traditional HH narrative (along with the stuff about the Alpha Legion). It’s good. I liked it. Just a shame the other Vulkan novels were not as good.
