Summary

A Blood Angels novel.

Baal has been saved from the tyranids, yet the Blood Angels' greatest challenge awaits them. Reinforced by the new Primaris Space Marines, Commander Dante has been made warden of Imperium Nihilus. But to save the shattered Imperium, he and his brothers must first defeat the darkness within themselves.

Listen to it because: after the Devastation of Baal comes the next great test for the Blood Angels - rebuilding their broken empire, even as their broken souls threaten to overwhelm them.

The story: the galaxy is in flames. Chaos is in the ascendant across the stars. The Great Rift has split the holdings of the Imperium in twain, isolating entire sectors from the light of Holy Terra.

But all hope is not lost. The Primarch Roboute Guilliman has returned from deathless sleep and appointed Commander Dante, lord of the Blood Angels, as Regent and Warden of the newly dubbed Imperium Nihilus.

In the Baal system, the shattered holding of the Chapter is being rebuilt, and Dante plans the greatest campaign of his long life, to retake half an empire. And yet at this moment of rebirth there are dangers close to home that could overwhelm all those who carry the blood of Sanguinius in their veins, stopping Dante's noble endeavour before it has even begun.

The Flaw in Sanguinius’ sons is growing. As the twin curses of the Red Thirst and the Black Rage threaten everything, the hardest ordeal will fall upon Mephiston, twice-born Lord of Death and Chief Librarian of the Blood Angels. Among the mighty lords of Baal, perhaps only he can save them all, by mastering the darkness in the blood....

Written by Guy Haley. Narrated by Richard Reed.

Great but not on the same level as DoB or Dante

very enjoyable because I love BA and I like to know what there up to in the lore! some good writing and some good narration, but not as gripping as DoB and feels like it has less depth than Dante.

Surprisingly good

And I don’t mean that as a slight to Guy Haley because I have read many of his books and thoroughly enjoyed them I refer to the narrator who I find it difficult to engage with however in this case he did an outstanding reading of the book 😀 stick to Blood Angels Mr Reed it is your forte

Guy Haley Never Dissapoints

I won't go and spoil anything but the book touching on the very real risks of the Primaris rubicon is a very nice touch to an already brilliant book.

Dante....nuff said

Dante is now my favourite character in 40k,great main story and some great background stories from Dante really adds a level of humanity to the character that is usually absent in space Marines. Delivers a great monologue on the subject of Duty and command. Well worth a listen 👌

Great story, loved it!

the first few chapters contain a lot of different characters and scènes, which makes it a bit slow to get into.

after a while these various storylines are neatly woven together in a story that gives you more insight in why Dante en Mephisto act the way they do.

great Read!

Fairly good. Should have been longer

Hard to keep up with Dante and the Dvestation of Bal, but still interesting. Hayley really brings something to the Blood Angels, in the way Chris Wraith put the Scars on the map in Horus Heresy.
