Publisher's summary

For too long had the Vth Legion ranged out beyond the sight of the wider Imperium, remaining ignorant of the Warmaster's rebellion and the war that inevitably followed.

Only once their primarch, Jaghatai Khan, had satisfied himself that the path before them was just and true did the White Scars choose a side, taking the fight to the traitors on every front. But, four years later, the Legion's unfettered spirit has been broken by relentless attritional warfare against the Death Guard and the Emperor's Children - the Khan's Stormseers must find a clear route to Terra if they are to take part in the final, apocalyptic battle.

Excellent story

This book is my favorite Warhammer story, and the performance was perfection itself. Incredible action, tightly plotted story, superb characters.

Amazing

Wish we had more white scars books. By far the most underrated legion in-lore. The khagan is such a levelheaded character

A good addition

I had skipped this previously, but doubling back gave it a shot. It is a solid bridge piece with some insights into other background info. Shibhan Khan is always a badass.

A must for anyone new to the 5th legion! Awesome!

This is book two of a story that is a masterful depiction of who the 5th Legion, the White Scars, is just before the Warmaster, Horus Lupercal, plunges everything into chaos. The White Scars must determine for themselves the truth of things. This book continues with two key characters from the first book; Shivan Khan and Torgun Khan, and the author did a great job bringing both characters to life. I'm expecting more 5th legion stories in the future!

One of the best

Good space battles, the white scars books are some of the best. Hope to see them in the coming books, cause the void battles in this we're just as good previous books.

This Is Why Wraight’s The Best

If you’ve ever read Chris’s work, you know his grotesque vocabulary and illustrious descriptions keep you ENGAGED. Seriously.

Also, his Primarch Jaghatai is probably the most convincing portrayal of any. He’s a Primarch, a genius and a demigod. It feels much more appropriate to see him treated as such compared to the borderline simpleton moments other authors depict of the Emperor’s Sons.

only 1 issue

The only problem was the narrator struggling to separate space wolf and white scar accents while speaking. Not a huge problem though.
