Ancient enemies, powerful foes. Where the orks and the Imperium collide, there is only war. The Black Templars stand against the orks' destruction and Astra Militarum soldiers fight for survival on Hive World Armageddon. The orks contend with the costs of their outlandish schemes and bold quests for power. But while they delight in their search for their next big fight, the Green Tide is just one of the many perils the Imperium faces in the brutal galaxy. In the darkness, the Ruinous Powers threaten disaster, and an inquisitor must reckon with the Space Wolves' dangerous secret...
