When communication with the imperial planet Enthymion IV was interrupted, an expeditionary force led by space marines of the Order of the Crimson Fists went there to understand the current situation. Their search led to a clash with the Soul Drinkers, a renegade Order, and the Crimson Fists, along with the Imperial Guard, began military action. However, ancient forces of evil have claimed the planet, pursuing their own nefarious goals. And now two fraternal Orders, mortally hating each other, find themselves on the same side of the front.
