The Dawn of Fire series is one of the grandest narratives in Warhammer 40,000 – a tentpole series which follows Roboute Guilliman as he takes the reins of an Imperium beset on all sides and split in two by the Great Rift.
Over the course of six books, we’ve watched as the Indomitus Crusades have mustered and set off to reconquer a divided galaxy. But the story doesn’t end at the sixth instalment, Martyr’s Tomb by Marc Collins. We can reveal that there will be three more novels before the series reaches its thrilling conclusion, starting with Sea of Souls by Chris Wraight.
The mighty fleets of the Indomitus Crusade face terrors and dangers beyond imagining. As Guilliman’s crusade marches forth, bringing the Emperor’s light to thousands of worlds, Fleet Secundus is headed for the darkest dark: the Eye of Terror itself, where Secundus will execute a major offensive deep into the heart of the Archenemy.
Along with warriors of the Adepta Sororitas and the Adeptus Astartes, the Imperial Navy battle cruiser Judgement of the Void pushes deeper and deeper into contested space. But as their journey unfolds, the greater schemes of the Indomitus Crusade begin to descend into treachery and intrigue. And as the forces of Chaos close in, a battle for survival is about to unfold, one which has ramifications not just for Fleet Secundus, but for the future of the galaxy itself.
But that’s not it from the series – books eight and nine are coming soon. What’s in them, we cannot say – not least because the guardians of the Black Library won’t tell us…
