THE STORY

In the dying days of the Second War for Armageddon, Major Roth faces a task that seems destined to fail - to hold the walls of the doomed hive, Tartarus, against a massive xenos assault. Elsewhere within Tartarus, Sister Superior Sabreen of the Order of Our Martyred Lady finds herself as the last protector of a saint’s precious relics, and Brother Gavriel, a headstrong young Blood Angel, finds death and glory in equal measure amid the ruins of the broken hive.
