Commissar Ciaphas Cain and the Valhallan 597th are in the thick of it again, putting down an uprising of Chaos cultists on an Imperial mining world. Though their mission is a success, they find evidence that the corruption might have spread to other planets and that the forge world of Ironfound could now be at risk. The munitions Ironfound produces are vital to the Imperial war effort in the subsector; its safety must be assured at all costs. As battle explodes across the planet, Ciaphas Cain and his regiment come up against allies and enemies old and new in their fight for victory.

When the flow of desperately needed weapons for the Astra Militarum slows to nothing from a newly founded forge world, there’s only one man able and (un)willing to investigate…Ciaphas Cain, Hero of the Imperium. With Cain’s desperately sought-after retirement on the line, the Imperium’s most reluctant commissar must navigate insidious assassination attempts against his person, legions of mutinous skitarii, heresy within the upper echelons of the Adeptus Mechanicus itself… and a hidden foe, pulling the strings, with an agenda that could threaten the future of Imperial rule in the Damocles Gulf.

The mysterious Creator has been the instigator of chaos for thousands of years. Now, its spaceships are converging on human territory. The Confederation is worn down by endless conflict, its warfleet depleted and its armies stretched. Two of the Space Corps’ top officers - Joe Nation and Becky Keller - are determined to fight for as long as it takes. The coming conflict will offer them a fleeting glimpse into the designs of an entity so powerful it might as well be a god. For Nation and Keller, the things they learn ensure nothing will ever be the same again.

Bold action from Captain Becky Keller and Lieutenant Joe Nation in the Bael-6 solar system has sent a hammerblow response to the murderous Scions. The enemy are down but not defeated. The detonation of the galaxy bomb has brought something new into the fight. The Scions are not a natural living species, and now their mysterious creator has taken an interest in the human Confederation.

Humanity’s first engagements with the invading Trivar have not gone to plan and the aliens have shown no mercy in destroying several Confederation worlds and killing billions of people. Surrender is not an option. One of the Space Corps’ monitoring stations finds hints of a Trivar world, countless galaxies away, and a mission is formed to search for a way to counter the enemy space fleet’s seemingly impregnable defences.

The time has come. The Creator is the most powerful entity in the known universe. Protected by the walls of its dark sphere, it constructs vast machines designed to wipe out entire species. So far, it has not encountered significant resistance. Times change. Keller and Nation are given their most dangerous mission yet. Sent into the depths of the dark sphere, they must do whatever it takes to wipe out this deadly alien entity. It’s never easy and the stakes have never been higher. In the Creator’s realm, there are no guarantees.

The human Confederation is on the verge of total defeat. The Trivar and the life draining Antaron have taken turns and now, their cruel overlords, the Scions, have joined the fight. As if the odds weren’t bad enough already. The Scions are savage, brutal and arrogant. They have brought with them a weapon beyond comprehension. If the Scions are not stopped, everyone will die. Captain Becky Keller is flying the refitted ES Devastator. It’s the only spaceship with the firepower to match the Scions in a one-on-one.

A huge fleet of spacecraft emerges close to one of the Confederation’s worlds. The aliens on board - known as Trivar - claim to be peaceful. After countless wars, the Space Corps’ high command isn’t ready to believe, and with good reason. The Trivar have many demands. It doesn’t take long for two of the Corps’ most decorated officers to become embroiled in a war which appears impossible to win. While Nation hunts for a weakness, two huge space fleets clash. Nothing is easy in this universe, and the key to victory lies with humanity’s once-greatest enemy.

Lieutenant Becky Keller’s brain is fitted with a processing core which can outthink and outfly the most advanced battle computers in the Space Corps. Joe Nation is packed with so many augmentations, he can’t remember which parts of his body are real anymore. All he knows is covert ops, and there’s no one better than Nation. The pair of them are given a mission - infiltrate the Isob-2 processing facility of a semi-hostile alien species known as Estral and find out if they’re breaking the terms of a peace treaty.
