Guy Haley tailored the first part of the series very well and it was expected that the second part will be equally well written. The author has worked according to the expectations of the fans and this book surely is not a disappointment for those who waited for it for a long time.
Astorath Angel of Mercy and Pharos are also examples of other masterpieces which the author has presented over the years. Roboute Guilliman is trying to rebuild everything in this story and it is not an easy task that he has given himself because the circumstances are not in his favor at all.

There is a duel that will finally decide who is the real hero in the battlefield. The end of the novel is quite important because it paves the way for the next part.
