But bitter rivalries and treachery threaten to derail the defence of Vervunhive and it falls to Gaunt to take command of the Imperial forces and forge victory from an almost certain defeat.This edition includes the epilogue short story In Remembrance in which Gaunts Ghosts are accompanied into battle by an artist commissioned to create a sculpture in commemoration of a great victory by the Tanith First.
