Gideon Ravenor, armed with razor-sharp intellect, mighty psionic power, and extraordinary authority, is hunting… drug dealers. Could it be that in the Imperium heretics, sorcerers, and demons have run out—so that one of the best agents of the Inquisition is chasing criminals? But the mysterious flakks aren’t ordinary drugs. There’s clearly more to it—Warp magic is involved.
Pursuing the source of this latest scourge leads the inquisitor to the very edge of imperial space, where Gideon has never been before. But he has been at the brink of doom many times. Looking into the abyss is far more familiar—and pleasant to him—than looking in a mirror.
