Publisher's summary

Long considering themselves persecuted by the rest of the Imperium, the apostles of the XVIIth Legion have courted sedition, betrayal and even open heresy for decades.

But for Kurtha Sedd of the Third Hand Chapter, the Word Bearers' assault on Calth has proven...troubling. Drawn into the haunted shadows of the planet's underworld, the Chaplain and his devout brethren must now put aside all other concerns and continue to wage war against the Ultramarines, no matter the ultimate cost.

Absolutely amazing character development for one of GW’s more short lived but best written villains!!!

Answers many questions in the details that lead up to Kurtha Sedd’s fate in Censure, Gives a unique look at what happened on calth in parts of the underworld war that took place in the arcology and tunnel systems beneath calth’s surfacr

Continuing of Calth

The story is from the heretic side of things. While it is interesting, it lacks depth and seems to only continue the Calth campaign.
