(Book 5 of the Marsh Silas series) The Vellanian Campaign draws to a close and the Kasrkin of the proud 10th Regiment celebrate their victories, promotions, and rewards. It is a time of swilling amasec and dart games in the soldier halls of the newly rebuilt capital city of Ebba. Marsh Silas and his companion Seathan Hyram, now company commanders, enjoy the prospect of reforming their units for the battles ahead.
However, the war is not over yet. New threats arise both in Ebba, in the countryside of sprawling maize and wheat, and even in the great freshwater ocean. Marsh Silas, Bloody Platoon, Avalanche Company, and the whole of 1st Battalion of the Red Banner Regiment prepare to finish off the remnants of the Ork invaders and finally restore peace to a rebuilding Vellania.

In a crucible of survival, humanity and Space Marines must forge an uneasy alliance to confront the anomalies' intelligence, defend the Belt, and grapple with the ethical consequences of their choices. Ashes in the Void is a story of courage, morality, and the fragile balance between human ingenuity and the incomprehensible forces lurking in the void of space.Complete
Aquila
Commander Caius Atelinas is many things: angel, demon, soldier, saint, and above all, an Ultramarine. A distinguished veteran of uncounted battles, his squad is often sent on some of the most dangerous missions to defend the Imperium of Man from the enemies of Mankind no matter where they show their faces. When he is sent on a mission to retrieve a stranded Tech-Priest on an isolated world at the edge of Imperium Space, he finds himself confronted with something much more dangerous than a downed space craft. Soon confronted by agents of Chaos, an Orkish invasion, and a squad of Aeldari all seeking the Tech-Priest or the ruination of the planet, Caius and his squad find themselves at the forefront of a fight that will put their skills to the test and sets Caius on the collision course with an unexpected ally - Farseer Naudan Bahad of Craftworld Ulthwé, his long-time rival and one-time ally, who has come to the planet seeking out a familiar foe and a mystery that they both believe had faded into the shadows. --- STORIES IN THE SERIES: 0.

In Exile they are damned and by Duty bound, with Hunger they stalk and with the ichor of humanity's foes their thrist they Slake. Guardians, monsters, tyrants, slavers, sunderers, it matters not. Who leads and what they leave behind is nothing but a great Red Wake.Complete

Renegade (Aquila, Book 3)
[Sequel to 'Imperium'] Following the successful defense of Alamarri and the sudden withdrawal of Hepharion's Chaos Marines, Caius returned to Macragge in time to see the return of his Primarch and receive a new mission from his Captain: find Hepharion and bring him down, no matter the cost, and chase down and secure the remains of the ancient Titan project. At first, resources seem scarce with the Black Crusade taking much of the attention and firepower of the Ultramarines. However, help comes in an unexpected form when an Inquisitor's acolyte appears with an unexpected offer for the men of the Twentieth. Across the stars, Bahad is called before the Council of Farseers of his Craftworld and desperately pleads his case for his alliance with Caius and his hunt for Hepharion. However, this falls on deaf ears when the Craftworld, concerned about his continued association with the Imperium, orders him into a temporary arrest to await further judgment. While in isolation, plagued by his visions of what shall happen without his involvement, he, too, receives an unexpected visitor: a Harlequin Solitaire with a keen interest on seeing him reunited with his Ultramarine. As the two friends journey forth, their paths lead them to one another once again and to the planet of Cosperan, home to a Black Templar Crusade and the most recent spot where Hepharion's Warband was spotted. --- STORIES IN THE SERIES: 0.

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.

The Iron Seraph
It was supposed to be an ordinary strike mission. Get in, kill the xenos, liberate the human captives, and get out. But that was not what happened. Sergeant Adrian Aurelius embarked in a drop pod, alone; ready to make planetfall. But mysterious phenomena propelled the Astartes onto a planet that was not the intended target... nor within the system the battle was taking place... Neither was it within the same galaxy. This story follows his adventures in this new world, as he is forced to adapt to the environment around him... and whatever else it may contain.
In the Warhammer 40K x The Expanse crossover, When a squad of Salamanders Space Marines is inexplicably transported from the grim darkness of the 41st millennium to the fragile political and human landscape of the Belt, they are faced with a challenge unlike any they have ever encountered. Crystalline anomalies of unknown origin erupt across Ceres Prime and other Belt settlements, their intelligence adaptive, their behavior unpredictable, and their threat to human life absolute. As tensions rise between Earth, Mars, and the Belters, the Rocinante crew and their unexpected allies-the Astartes-must navigate moral dilemmas, high-stakes stabilization operations, and political interference to save thousands of lives. Every pulse, every adjustment, and every decision is a negotiation with a force far beyond comprehension. In a crucible of survival, humanity and Space Marines must forge an uneasy alliance to confront the anomalies' intelligence, defend the Belt, and grapple with the ethical consequences of their choices. Ashes in the Void is a story of courage, morality, and the fragile balance between human ingenuity and the incomprehensible forces lurking in the void of space.
