As a prelude to the Siege of Terra, this book follows the Lion and his Dark Angels, far away from the battle of Terra and the Imperial Palace.
With the Ruinstorm broken and the forces of Guilliman and Sanguinius making all haste for Terra, the Dark Angels lead a bloody campaign of annihilation against the worlds of the Traitor Legions. But as the Legion fragments and the tally of the shattered worlds between them and Terra grows, it falls to the Wing Lieutenants to question whether the Lion still wages a war he intends to win - or one he has already lost.
The great thing of this novella, is that it also learns us some more about the other, now gone, wings of the Legion and their roles. The Firewing, who provided long range and anti armour support, and the Dreadwing, a sort of infiltrator havoc causer troops.
A nice little book, and it shows the pain of the Legion knowing that perhaps the best loyalist warrior, the Primarch Lion El'Jonson, won`t be able to reach Terra and face Horus...
