Cover description
The series comes to a close in The Silent King by Guy Haley, as the sudden disappearance of an entire battlefleet draws the Avenging Son away from his reclaimed realm and into the treacherous Pariah Nexus where a resurgent Necron empire stirs in the stillness.[1]
The disparate dynasties of the Necrons have begun to coalesce with a curious unity never seen before among their ambitious and prideful leaders, leading some to whisper of the return of an ancient power that holds dominion over all. Whispers… of the Silent King.[1]
