To honour their past victories and the bond between them, the Blood Angels and Salamanders meet on Hecatomb to exchange trophies of war. So august a gathering is this that both Dante and Tu'Shan, the respective Chapter Masters of their Space Marine brotherhoods, are present. But what begins as a fraternal exchange of cultures turns nightmarish as the Blood Angels unwittingly unleash something they had thought long vanquished and their darker natures with it. Read it because It's a look at the nature of the Salamanders through a very different lens, as they are contrasted with the secretive and cursed Blood Angels – and it brings two Chapter Masters to blows!
