Shadow Knight (Night Lords, #0.5)

Return to the start of Aaron Dembski-Bowden’s Night Lords series with a prequel tale of Talos and his fellow warriors of First Claw. During a prospective salvage mission on board a derelict Imperial ship, the Night Lords encounter Space Marines of the Blood Angels Chapter – cut off from their extraction point and any hope of reinforcement, they must work quickly if they are to save their own skins. But Talos is tormented by both his own past and the nebulous future, and his dark visions give a grim prophecy of things to come...

Here's where it all began with Aaron Dembski-Bowden's first Night Lords story. Get to know Talos, Uzas, Cyrion and the rest with a tale that lays the groundwork for the entire Night Lords trilogy.
