Captured and put on trial, Sarpedon must find a way to save his warriors even as the Imperial Fists’ mighty starfort Phalanx comes under attack from a horde of ravening daemons. And the writings of Chaplain Daenyathos have guided the Soul Drinkers for millennia… but a dark secret lurks at their heart.

This anthology presents a collection of action-packed short stories that explore the hopes, fears, and fierce battles of various warbands fighting in the darkness.

However, none find what they seek, and even death eludes those who venture into its halls. With the emergence of the Direchasm, warbands face off in a relentless struggle. Noble warriors like Myari’s Purifiers aim to cleanse the mountain's taint, while others, such as The Dread Pageant, hunt for signs of Slaanesh, willing to go to any lengths to achieve their goals. As they clash with formidable foes like The Wurmspat, Rippa’s Snarlfangs, and The Grymwatch, the warbands quickly discover that Beastgrave demands blood and that they may become lost in its fury, doomed to an unending conflict.
