This is the story of a Death Korps guardsman whose tormented past constantly burdens his actions as a soldier of the Imperium. In a backwater planet, thrown into another pointless war he finds his place in life as he falls in love with an Eldar woman.

A lone sentinel pilot has a malfunction and is left stranded in the wasteland that is a war zone. The battle has past by leaving the soldier stranded and, as far as he knows, alone. Escaping will be nearly impossible, and also very lonely.
