A down-on-his-luck wage slave was getting up early for work yet again when he discovered that he had reverted to childhood and transmigrated into Warhammer.
After reluctantly accepting the truth, he took a new name: Leopold Gerhart. He became the Emperor's sharpest sword. On Terra, he wiped out the Thunder Warriors who sought to rebel. Across the churning sea of stars, he exterminated countless terrifying aliens beyond the limits of mortal imagination.
He witnessed the vilest betrayal in human history and took part in the end of it all. In particular, aboard the twisted and remade Vengeful Spirit, he confronted the fallen Warmaster to protect his grievously wounded lord.
He should have died gloriously in battle against the Warmaster, but fate cruelly cast him into the river of time. When he opened his eyes again, it was the forty-first millennium of humanity. The Imperium was on the verge of collapse, and the glorious vision of the Emperor and the Primarchs had been reduced to ruins. Could he lead others to change this dark, hopeless Imperium from atop its rubble, or would he bear the fate that was always his and become the last Dark Angel foretold by others?
