As the Great Rift splits the galaxy, Mephiston finds his psychic sight inexplicably blinded at the moment he needs it most, leaving him haunted by ghostly visions of unclear purpose.

The closing volume of the Mephiston trilogy follows the Blood Angels' Chief Librarian deep into Imperium Nihilus, where cryptic visions draw him toward a war-torn world on the edge of the Great Rift.
