About the book: year / Get to know some of the key characters of the Necrons and find out what the (un)life of ancient creatures is like, awakened in a Galaxy that no longer belongs to them. Few Nemesors are lauded for their military genius as much as Zahndrekh, who achieved countless victories for the glory of House Sautekh thanks to his unparalleled understanding of strategy and tactical acumen. He is followed everywhere by the shadow of the Vargard Obyron, his tireless bodyguard and eternal companion. However, when the ghosts of a troubled past overtake the old general and he, along with a loyal guard, is sent to quell a rebellion in the Ghoul Stars, the close ties that bind master and servant are subjected to the most severe test, as well as Zahndrekh’s fragile sanity. The inseparable companions have no choice but to enter into an alliance with an old acquaintance, a nemesor named Setekh. So, united, their troops are sent to Doaht - a planet that inspires horror and hope in equal measure. And who knows what is hiding in the darkness of its dungeons and what is on the mind of Setekh, hiding behind imaginary concern for the interests of the Sautekh dynasty?
