Mystery lies at the heart of the sons of the Lion. Striking across the galaxy from their space-going fortress-monastery, the Rock, they defend mankind while constantly hunting their ancient enemies, the Dark Angels who turned to the Chaos Gods in the Horus Heresy. Where one of these Fallen is found, the Chapter descends, and no one is safe until the traitors are brought to justice. This series tells the tale of a hunt for the Fallen that embroils the Chapter in a plot to change the past and future and bring about the dominion of Chaos over the Imperium.
This omnibus contains the novels Ravenwing, Master of Sanctity and The Unforgiven, plus the anthology Lords of Caliban, which consists of the short stories Honour of the Third, A Hunt in the Dark, Battle-Brothers, Accept No Failure, Holder of the Keys and All Must End.

More a four stars one, but if you've read the Angels of Darkness and The Purging of Kadillus prequels and the Dark Angels Horus Heresy novels, you are going to have a blast reading this omnibus. And the ending was just the most shocking and grimdark in Warhammer 40000 history ever.
An excellent view into the inner workings of the Dark Angels, albeit with a somewhat short finale. Still a must read for any fan of the Unforgiven. Best read after Angels of Darkness by the same author, which serves as a prologue of sorts.
The first book is a bit iffy - most the characters are kind of annoying but books 2 and 3 bring in some of the big guns , who are all amazing in their own way and make it far more enjoyable.
