For the Emperor and Sanguinius!
In the war-torn world of the 41st Millennium the forces of the Imperium are feared throughout the galaxy, and none more so than the Adeptus Astartes – the Space Marines, gene-engineered super-soldiers, warrior-monks of the Emperor who live only to fulfill his commands. Among the disparate chapters of the Astartes are one cadre of Marines whose noble legacy hides a dark and bloodthirsty secret – a Red Thirst that conjures a name from ancient Terran legend, a name not spoken since the dark times – vampire. These are the Blood Angels, the Sons of Sanguinius, elegant and deadly, an unstoppable force for the God-Emperor’s ceaseless holy wars…
On the remote war-grave world of Cybele, the superhuman warriors of the Blood Angels Space Marines fight a losing battle against their most bitter enemies, the forces of Chaos.
When battle-brother Arkio leads a glorious counter-attack that has the enemy reeling, there is talk among the faithful that this is a holy sign.
Is Arkio blessed by the spirit of the Blood Angels Primarch, the Lord Sanguinius?
However, events soon begin to spiral out of control as the Chaos Marines of the Word Bearer Chapter reveal a nightmarish plot; only one man, Arkio’s kinsman Rafen, can uncover the truth – and if he fails, the Blood Angels may face damnation!
Has the Angel Encarmine truly returned, or is a darker conspiracy at work? For two men, brothers by blood and battle-brothers by duty, the answer may tear the Blood Angels apart!
