Als Fenris, die Heimatwelt der Space Wolves, von einer Flut bösartiger Dämonen angegriffen wird, beantworten alle, die dem Orden dienen, den Ruf zu den Waffen.

A reluctant trio are forced to investigate a mystery city, but in doing so find themselves fighting a demonic atrocity.

One is a wanted criminal and the other two have no wish to work together - but when the money is this good, it's hard to refuse.

As he returns home to a barony on the verge of rebellion and beset by necromantic foes, Zachareth must choose his true path—the path of virtue and heroism, or that of darkness and villany.

There, instead of clues, they uncover necromancy: graveyards emptied of corpses, with trails of footprints leading into sinister Blind Muir Forest.... But the forest holds more than just the walking dead.
