Vashtorr the Arkifane is the demonic demigod of the Soul Forges. Now he has set his sights on the Rock. Somewhere deep within the Dark Angels’ space station lies a treasure for which the Arkifane would gladly sacrifice thousands of lives to possess. Vashtorr therefore assembles a terrifying fleet of damnation, at the head of which he rides into battle in the largest and most grotesque Ark of Omen, to clench his iron-shod claws around the heart of the Dark Angels chapter – he just needs to squeeze to destroy it.
But the Dark Angels are a stubborn and strategically brilliant Chapter. Even in the face of such sudden and devious attacks, their grim determination does not waver. The Dark Angels call every available warrior to arms and dig in, ready to fight for every corridor and every chamber of their home, for every dark dungeon, for every shadow-drenched staircase. The defence is led by their Supreme Grand Master, Azrael, who intends to drive the servants of the dark gods from the Rock at all costs.
As the battles rage and become increasingly desperate, neither attackers nor defenders can anticipate that a third power is rising in the shadows, preparing to strike…
