Old Earth

Vulkan, the primarch of the Salamanders, has been brought back to life in the ashes of Nocturne and is now ready to begin the last stage of his journey, which starts beneath Mount Deathfire. Around him gather the sons he trusts most. The Legions broken at Isstvan V have halted the Warmaster's march across the galaxy, yet the bonds between the Iron Hands, Salamanders and Raven Guard are beginning to fracture, and whispers say Ferrus Manus may have returned. Vulkan feels that a destiny remains unfinished. He must decide whether to take up his brothers' campaign of revenge against the traitors or to follow a half-understood path that leads all the way to the Throneworld.
