Part 4 of the Legacy of Russ series The battle for the Fenris system takes a dark turn as the Dark Angels order the cleansing of an entire world. But there is a ray of hope, as the Inquisition discover the truth of the Wulfen is more complicated than they expected… The Fenris system is under attack by armies of daemons, and though the Space Wolves fight with their customary courage and savagery, their enemies are beyond number. In an effort to quell the daemonic intrusion, Azrael orders the firebombing of the planet Midgardia, in callous disregard for the fate of its human inhabitants. And in the void, the Inquisition discover that while rumours of mutants among the Space Wolves are true, the reality of the situation is not clear cut as it could be – are the Wulfen friend or foe? It's a turning point for the Space Wolves as the Dark Angels and Inquisition reveal their own allegiances.
