As the Emperor marshals his armies to reclaim the galaxy for the glory of mankind, one by one his Space Marine Legions are reunited with their missing primarchs. The XVIII Legion are still waiting to find their true identity, unaware their own lord has been found. In the Taras Division, legionaries face annihilation as they take a last, desperate stand against a monstrous ork invasion.

Meanwhile, on Nocturne, Vulkan has raised and trained a new force of warriors. Now it is the time for him to lead his sons into battle. Now it is the time for him to truly don the mantle of primarch, not only to save one half of his Legion but to forge a new, indivisible whole.

Great performance with a solid story. Any 40k fan will now turn into a Salamander fan as well.

I love the Salamanders, I love how GW has made such a lovable contradiction like the XVIII legion, horrifying to the average citizen until you see them laying their lives on the line to keep you safe. This... origin story, for want of a better term, was everything I expected it to be.

Love the Salamanders

Jonathan Keeble does this book a wonder by narrating voices with different accents, he presents each character with depth and feeling as if we were in the story ourselves.

The story itself seems a tad bit lacking in background and depth, but for its length is a great feature packed with action to add more flavor to the deserving salamanders legion.

Good book with great narration!

well written by an author that truly appreciates the fine detail of the Salamanders. voice acting on point as well, brought a tear to my eye.

Must-read for Salamanders fans

if you know anything about Salamanders you'll know what to expect. the vibe is very heroic/ nice compared to the other primarch books I've read. My bias could be showing seeing its my favorite chapter of space marines but Vulkan being best dad to his sons here is pretty great.

Vulkan is too f-ing nice
