Cover Description[1]
The grand halls of Fenris grow ever quieter following arduous campaigns. Concerned by his Chapter’s diminishing numbers, the Great Wolf Logan Grimnar entrusts Njal Stormcaller to uncover the remedy of their plight. When a 10,000-year-old enemy embeds itself in the Rune Priest’s mind, it claims the salvation he seeks lies where it all began. On Prospero. Alongside an eclectic company of injured Space Wolves, Thralls and a Trickster who is more hindrance than help, the Stormcaller sets forth. But it soon becomes apparent that greater mechanisms are at work. It is no longer only the Sons of Russ’ fate at stake, but the entire Imperium.

- In Chapter 5, the Blood Claws who accompany Lukas the Trickster are said to have been "borrowed" from Egil Iron Wolf's Great Company, with Logan Grimnar asking if Egil was aware of this and Lukas admitting "probably not".[2] This is despite the fact that Egil Iron Wolf was killed by Magnus during the Siege of the Fenris System, which happened before the formation of the Great Rift, and this story is set after its formation.[3]
