In the grim darkness of the 41st millennium, there is only war. Even so, at the front lines of the ever ensuing war against the traitors, xenos, and abominations that threaten the Imperium, is the Adeptus Astartes. While their chapter is not of much note, the Night Watch Guardians, descendants of Rogal Dorn, stand as a bastion of civility in the dark shadow of the Storm of the Emperor's Wrath. Yet, will these stalwart sons of Dorn remain loyal, or were the seeds of heresy sown before they were even founded?

[Sequel to 'Aquila'] Following the routing of the Chaos Marine Hepharion and his warband on the planet of Pelamon, Caius and the Ultramarines of the 20th Tactical Squad make a hasty dash for the outpost world of Alamarri VIII in an attempt to save their brothers of the Imperial Fist who have been fortifying the world under mysterious orders from the Adeptus Administratum and the Adeptus Mechanicus.

Lifetime of war
In the grim future of the 41st millennium, the galaxy knows only war. As both Chaos and Tyranids' threats intensify, countless worlds are destined to fall. Simultaneously, the once galaxies rulers - Eldars, are crumbling, weakened by their own low population, division, and consequences of their own past sins. The Imperium still vigilantly stands. However, its armies are dwindling, outmatched or outnumbered by numerous enemies. Is it the end? Is there no salvation for these races? Perhaps there is. Maybe, the boredom and pettiness will bore a key to that? Maybe, something stirrers in the Immaterium that would change the setting?
Dovator
Most Inquisitors rule with cold efficiency, viewing their subordinates as tools in a never-ending war. Alexi Dovator is different. Guided by a strong moral compass and an unshakable loyalty to his companions, he treats his retinue as friends, not servants. Weiss, a tech adept who questions the Machine Cult; Lucia, an unsanctioned psyker saved from purifying flame; and James Kraken, a battle-hardened Cadian lieutenant: each of them stands by Dovator not out of duty, but out of trust. When heresy corrupts his home world, Gaea Prime, Dovator and his companions will be forced to face their greatest challenge yet. And for a man who often lets his heart-and his mouth-outrun his better judgment, the battle ahead may cost him more than he can afford to lose.Complete
Ulvar: The Eternal Hunt
In a galaxy consumed by endless war, glory is fleeting-only the hunt endures. Ulvar was born in the frozen wastes of Fenris, a predator before he ever wore the armor of the Adeptus Astartes. Forged in the crucible of the Space Wolves and tested in the black-clad ranks of the Deathwatch, he has hunted tyranids, purged daemons, and stood shoulder to shoulder with legends. But when dreams of a laughing beast in the Eye of Terror haunt his nights, Ulvar does what few dare-he answers the call alone. Presumed lost for nearly a century, he returns changed... and punished. Cast back into the shadows of the Deathwatch for a second Vigil, Ulvar finds the galaxy colder than he left it. Friends have become commanders. The mortal he once saved is now a battle-brother. And the beast may not be dead after all. As old war songs echo in his mind and a new darkness rises, Ulvar must decide what he truly is: A son of Russ? A penitent hunter? Or something far more dangerous? Because monsters still stalk the stars... and someone must hunt them. Book 2 in what I hope to be an omnibus of Deathwatch books.Complete
Glory (Aquila, Book 4)
[Sequel to 'Renegade'] Successfully routing a potential Chaos invasion and a Genestealer takeover of the Shrine World of Cosperan, Caius once again turns his attention to Hepharion and pursues him off planet. Surprisingly aided by the fallen Faustinius, their key to unlocking the entirety of Project Apocalypsis Dominus lies in a sealed data cache, and it is a race against time to unseal it before Hepharion does so with the cache that he himself is in possession of. Armed with a location - the planet of Novrasa - the Astartes of the Twentieth, Deathwatch Squad Ostentia, and the few survivors of the Cosperan Crusade set off for its sister, the paradise world of Orphis, to begin a plan to get to the uninhabited ghost planet. With a newly refreshed Bahad as their psyker, they feel on equal footing with Hepharion for the first time. However, things are not always what they seem, and the long reaching shadow of Novrasa and Apocalypsis Dominus might hold more danger than any of them yet realize. --- STORIES IN THE SERIES: 0.

Hunters in the dark
An Imperial world lost to silence. A xenos threat beyond imagining. And one Guardsman who dared to stand among gods. In the wake of the Great Rift, Gethsemane Prime vanishes from the Imperium's light. Vox-relays fall. Colonies go dark. From the blackness between stars, a Tyranid splinter-fleet descends-a hunger made manifest. Answering the desperate call are the Deathwatch: elite xenos-hunters drawn from the finest Space Marine Chapters. Among them walks Garran, a Flesh Tearer forged in blood; Tyras, a chaplain whose sermons burn like fire; and Titus, an Ultramarine touched by something even the Warp cannot see. But in the dying trenches of Gethsemane, it is not only Astartes who fight. Elias Ryder, a teenage conscript with no right to survive, will face the unthinkable-and become more than mortal. As the Deathwatch descend into the heart of the Hive, hunted by monsters from beyond the stars and the veil, a darker truth emerges: the Hive Mind is not alone. Xenos. Chaos. Madness. The Vigil has begun. Book 1 in my Deathwatch OmnibusComplete
