Publisher's summary

While loyalist and traitor forces clash on a thousand battlefields across the galaxy, a very different kind of war is being fought in the shadows - a war of subtlety and subterfuge, unknown to many, but one that surely holds the key to victory for either side.

Rogal Dorn and his Legion prepare to defend the Solar System against the armies of Warmaster Horus, even as Malcador the Sigillite charges his many agents and spies with missions of the utmost secrecy. The future of the Imperium is being shaped by unseen hands....

every story was outstanding

the depth of back story and the holes filled in the story between 30k lore and 40k were amazing

Lots of questions answered

This stood out as a great story from all angles. The politics felt reasonable and interesting. The action was easy to follow and not absurd. Most importantly, the characters felt easy to separate, follow along with, and empathize with. This changed my perspective on a lot of what's happening on Terra.

Some good moments but mostly drudge.

The moments with Malcador were top notch, I guess I should praise BL writers for their attention to detail covering stuff that should in many cases have been covered twenty or more books ago. Thankfully we’re getting it now, what would I have done if I didn’t know the details of the space wolves sent to observe the Night Lords?

Such a great listen, darkly portrayed and beautifully delivered!

You could start here and still have a great read even if you don’t understand 40k. Each book makes you think differently about what might be real or behind the scenes.

So much critical lore!

I’m not usually a fan of the anthologies, but this is one of the best books in the series. Lots of critical background…and as always…more questions. Two stories about Loken!
