Ultramarine Chaplain Daelo Codian awakens from a six century statis to find that the universe he knew no longer exists.
The alien Tau have risen to power and now dominate the galaxy, and in this dark future the Imperium is all but shattered and dead. The Orks fight for the Tau in their untold billions and of the ancient Eldar there is no sign.
Little does Codian know just how significant he is to be in the fight to restore order to the stars and to banish the darkness back from whence it came. What hidden and ancient evil lurks unseen behind the Tau\'s ascension?
