Deep beneath an Inquisitorial fortress, an interrogator is set to break a captured Space Marine who claims to be Alpharius. As the questioning drags on, the prisoner's words begin to unravel the acolyte's certainty about himself, his master, and where true loyalty lies. A short, claustrophobic story built entirely on Alpha Legion mind games and the impossibility of knowing the truth.

A Space Marine captain arrives at a Schola Progenium to claim the finest recruits for his Chapter, but the students soon sense that something about their visitor is deeply wrong. The short tale peels back the corruption working its way into one of the Imperium's most trusted institutions. It is a sharp little study of how the Alpha Legion turns the Imperium's own pride against it.

Solomon Akurra, the Alpha Legion Harrowmaster, has bound scores of fractious warbands into a single domain and now reaches for something far greater than mere raiding. His ambition to turn his Primarch's weapon against the whole Imperium draws a massive retaliatory assault and a swarm of Imperial assassins. The sequel to Harrowmaster balances grand strategic schemes with the constant infighting of those who follow him.
