Deus Encarmine
Rafen, a Space Marine of the Blood Angels, is torn between his loyalty to his chapter and that of his blood-brother Arkio. As his brother Arkio is proclaimed the reincarnation of the Lord Primogenator Sanguinius all give fealty to the Reborn Angel. All except Rafen that is. Inquisitor Remius Stele, a servant of Chaos manipulates the situation to cause a schism in the Chapter. From the Blood Angels homeworld of Baal comes the ruthless Lord of Death, Mephiston, sent forth by Chapter Master Dante to investigate and to judge, and he isn't known for his sense of mercy.
Deus Sanguinius

After Arkio and his Loyalist Space Marines learn of the perfidy of Chaos Agent and Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor Remius Stele they must try and comprehend the awful realisation that they have been duped. Turned into unwitting Chaos Pawns in a game designed to take their very souls.
