The End and The Death Volume II
Dan Abnett’s The End and The Death Volume II is the immense second part of the final volume in the Siege of Terra series.

This title is available to pre-order in paperback.
The Vengeful Spirit Map
Originally published in The End and The Death Volume II, this impressionistic illustration of the Warmaster’s personal flagship provides a unique perspective on the stakes of the final battle. The Vengeful Spirit Map is printed on cotton and wrapped in a faux-leather cover that includes its own metallic pendant. It is available while stocks last.
