Book 6 in the Dawn of Fire series.
The Indomitus Crusade burns on across the stars, while new threats
emerge to challenge mankind's resurgence.
As the Kingdom of Iron is secured and the Primarch Reborn's thoughts
turn to future salients, the Archenemy strikes back against the
crusade's forces. The shrine worlds of the Golden Chain are all but
broken, and only Velua remains defiant. Canoness Irinya of the Order of
Our Martyred Lady and Champion Gaheris of the Black Templars hold the
line, fighting against the plague-ridden cultists reducing the planet to
anarchy.
While the war rages on and the true enemy makes itself known, the fate
of Velua and the wider crusade may rest upon the shoulders of another of
the Imperial Regent's agents: the disgraced rogue trader Katla Helvintr.
Heroes rise and worlds fall, and only the light of faith will guide the
warriors of the Imperium to their destiny.
