Inquisitors of the Ordo Malleus have pledged their every waking hour to the discovery and scourging of the daemonic- wherever it is to be found. But there are times when the scale of a daemonic infestation is such that even the most formidable and righteous Inquisitors need to call upon aid to triumph. Only one force in the breadth of the galaxy has any chance of stemming such a daemonic tide: the Grey Knights. Armed with psychically charged force weapons- storm bolters and an unshakeable faith in the Emperor- there is nothing more daunting for a daemon to face. Ben Counter’s awesome new novel is a deadly look at humanity’s last line of defence!
