Ferren Areios: Master of Rites (English)

A Warhammer 40,000 novel

Over a decade ago, the Imperium lost control of the Khorsari Expanse. Hidden behind warp storms on the edge of the Great Rift, its worlds were seized by the Death Guard and their inhabitants slaughtered by the servants of the Plague God. But these are the worlds of Ultramar, and their protectors will not be long in coming.

WHY YOU SHOULD READ THIS BOOK
We first met Ferren Areios in the Dawn of Fire series. Now he has risen to become Captain of the Ultramarines' 6th Company and earned the title Master of Rites. He faces his greatest challenge yet - confronting the Death Guard in a grueling war with little glory to be gained. Honour dictates that he takes on this task, and who better to do so than the Master of Rites?

THE STORY
Ferren Areios, Captain of the Ultramarines’ Sixth Company, has been sent to reclaim the worlds of the Khorsari Expanse and free them from the corruption of the Death Guard. But as the Plague Marines dig in and the death toll rises, Ferren recognizes the limitations of his Chapter. Trapped within the realm of the Plague God, the fleet fights not only to reclaim the worlds but also for Ferren's humanity.
