Synopsis:

“Before the Fall, there was Loyalty…”

Set long before the fires of betrayal consumed the Imperium, Descent of Angels casts a light on the earliest days of the Dark Angels—first among the Space Marine Legions. On the feudal death world of Caliban, young Zahariel dreams of glory as a knight, but fate has far greater plans. When the Emperor’s crusade reaches their forgotten planet, the knightly orders are reborn as Astartes, and the Lion—enigmatic Primarch of the Dark Angels—claims his Legion.

But all is not well beneath the surface. As secrets fester and ancient oaths clash with newfound purpose, the seeds of future heresy are quietly sown.

Mitchel Scanlon offers a meditative and atmospheric tale, revealing how even the noblest warriors can fall from grace when loyalty is clouded by doubt and pride.

Inside the Book:

• The Origins of the Dark Angels: A detailed account of the Legion’s founding days and their assimilation into the Great Crusade.

• Character-Driven Narrative: Follow Zahariel’s transformation from humble aspirant to Space Marine, amidst political unrest and personal revelations.

• A Portrait of Caliban: Explore a richly built world of chivalry, superstition, and dread beasts—an environment as treacherous as any battlefield.

• Foreshadowing the Fall: Early signs of the distrust, secrecy, and inner divisions that will define the Dark Angels’ grim legacy.
