The second book of the Dark Imperium trilogy

Roboute Guilliman and Mortarion continue to wage a vicious war over Ultramar

Across the void and upon the worlds of Greater Ultramar, the battle for the Imperium rages on.

Intent on rebuilding his home realm and using it as a base to reconstruct the ravaged stellar empire of humanity, the returned primarch, Roboute Guilliman, proceeds with his war to drive Mortarion and his Death Guard Traitor Legion from the domain of the Ultramarines. Yet when Guilliman brings his brother to battle upon the diseased plains of Parmenio, the intervention of a greater power in their fraternal struggle threatens to upend the Imperial Regent’s understanding of the galaxy – and his place within it.

Primarchs and ideologies clash in this second, thrilling installment of the Dark Imperium trilogy.
