THE STORY
An heir of Sigismund has been reborn.
The Shrine Worlds Crusades are over. The Rubicon Primaris has been crossed.
Chastised by Guilliman, the Primarch Returned, and guided by a vision from the holy God-Emperor Himself, High Marshal Helbrecht is called to the ruinworld of Hevaran. Forged in the fires of the Scouring, Hevaran is sacred in its desolation, condemned never to rebuild… Yet hidden upon its barren surface is a sacred relic. Questing to reclaim it with but a few select souls to aid him, Helbrecht must trust in his skill, his wrath, and his faith as an ancient enemy returns to test him as never before.
Written by Marc Collins.
Customer Reviews
Best if Avoided
This is by far the absolute worst 40K book I have ever read. The writing reminds me of a 14 year old trying to meet the word count limit on a last minute essay. There is zero depth - just an onerous wall of repetitive descriptive words pulled from a thesaurus, then pulled from a hat to repeat the same verbose drivel in slightly different patterns 30 pages later. Further the book contradicts itself on the nature of a sword - at one point stating it was black and non-reflective, then later it gleams and shines in the light. The author also seems to have read only the cliff notes on Warhammer lore, clumsily shoe horning in terms or phrases, while getting other critical things completely wrong. Example: rewriting the (critical and well established) origin of previously mentioned sword. Please only read it in jest, like a horrible B rated movie, where the only joy derived is from the cringe it inspires.
