The Machine War spreads across a thousand worlds, and the Galactic Empire teeters on the brink of collapse.

For Jonas, it is the first step on the path to becoming Lord Commander… though every victory drags him closer to losing his humanity.

Meanwhile, in the shadows of power, Lord Commander Vorian Black uncovers a darker conspiracy. Agents of the Fallen have allied with the ancient Void Walkers to construct a planet killer. Yet the true mastermind pulling the strings is far closer than anyone suspects—Cardinal Nolan Kraft.
