Book 2 in the Watchers of the Throne series
A new day has dawned for the Imperium, but not everyone sees the light. The Custodian Guard & Sisters of Silence must battle not just Chaos, but those who do not share Regent Guilliman's vision...
Read It Because
See how enemies lurk everywhere in the Imperium -- even on Terra itself -- & discover how the Adeptus Custodes excel at rooting out the darkness that lurks on the Throneworld & bringing it to light.
The Story
As Guilliman, Regent of Terra, heads off to lead the Indomitus Crusade, he leaves behind a world still in turmoil, beset by cult activity. Stripped of its huge armies for the galactic offensive, recovery is precarious. The Custodians do what they can while keeping the Palace secure, & the Sisters of Silence rebuild their citadel on Luna. When the warship Phalanx returns, it seems that stability will at last be assured. However, as reconquest forces push out further into the slums, they come across signs that another mysterious foe is active. The truth dawns -- not every enemy is corrupted by Chaos, for there are many on Terra who do not share Guillimans vision of a new order, & the prospect of a Terran civil war looms...
