Black Library Description
"When Brother Arkio claims to be a reincarnation of Sanguinius, the Blood Angels’ spiritual father, the message is clear: follow me or die.

Collected in this volume:
Deus Encarmine
"On the remote world of Cybele, the Adeptus Astartes of the Blood Angels Chapter fight a losing battle against the forces of Chaos.

Is Arkio blessed by the spirit of Sanguinius, or is the turmoil for the Blood Angels just beginning?"[2]
Blood Debt
"Inquisitor Ramius Stele is desperate to escape a world being consumed by the dread forces of Chaos. As the corrupting influence of the Ruinous Powers threatens to consume his soul, salvation arrives in the form of Captain Erasmus Tycho and the Blood Angels. But Stele is hiding a deadly secret, and if the Blood Angels discover it, his life – and soul – will be forfeit. How far will the inquisitor go to hide the truth?"[3]
Deus Sanguinius
"The Blood Angels Chapter is on the verge of being torn apart by a religious schism in their midst. Brother Arkio claims to be a reincarnation of Sanguinius, the Blood Angels' Primarch, and spiritual father, and has laid down the law: follow me, or die.
