It is the second novel in the [[Space Marine Conquests (Novel Series)|Space Marine Conquests]] series. ==Description==[[Space Wolf]] [[Rune Priest|Rune Priest]] [[Njal Stormcaller]] ventures into the [[Great Rift]] and the ruins of [[Prospero]] to save his long lost battle-brothers. Goaded by the shade of the long dead [[Chaos Sorcerer|sorcerer]] [[Izzakar Orr]], High Rune Priest Njal Stormcaller gathers together a disparate warband of Space Wolves to brave the Great Rift and return to the ruins of Prospero. If Izaak is to be believed, a force of the lost [[13th Great Company|Thirteenth Company]] remains trapped within the old, labyrinthine city of [[Tizca]], and if Njal can free them then he will not only be rid of the sorcerer but he will also rescue his ancient brothers. But the [[Thousand Sons]] still linger in the ashes of their former world as well as other, darker adversaries, and they will not allow the Wolves to pass through without a fight. ==Characters==In order of appearance:*[[Njal Stormcaller]]*[[Arjac Rockfist]]*[[Logan Grimnar]]*[[Izzakar Orr]]*[[Ulrik the Slayer]]*[[Bjorn the Fell-Handed]]*[[Lukas the Trickster]]*[[Changeling]]*[[Bulveye]]*[[Blue Scribes]]*[[Magnus the Red]] ==Trivia=={{trivia}}==={{Endn|Conflicting sources}}===*In Chapter 5, the [[Blood Claws]] who accompany [[Lukas (Space Wolf)|Lukas the Trickster]] are said to have been "borrowed" from [[Egil Iron Wolf|Egil Iron Wolf's]] [[Great Company]], with [[Logan Grimnar]] asking if Egil was aware of this and Lukas admitting "probably not". This is despite the fact that Egil Iron Wolf was killed by [[Magnus]] during the [[Siege of the Fenris System]], which happened before the formation of the [[Great Rift]], and this story is set after its formation.{{citethis}} ==See also=====Related articles===*[[List of Novels]] ==Sources==*[https://www.blacklibrary.com/new-titles/warhammer-40000/ashes-of-prospero-ebook.html Black Library] {{SMBnav}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Ashes of Prospero, The}} [[Category:Novels]][[Category:Sources (Space Wolves)]][[Category:Sources (Thousand Sons)]][[Category:Works by Gav Thorpe]]
