If you're referring to the events in the 'Uriel Ventris Chronicles', the direct reading order for 'Warriors of Ultramar' is typically after 'Nightbringer' and before 'Dead Sky, Black Sun'. It's the second book in that specific series. Honestly, keeping track of all these character arcs can be a challenge. I recently stumbled across 'Two Warriors, Two Battles - A Twist of Fate?' which scratches a similar itch for intense, squad-based combat with a political edge, but from a more personal angle focusing on two rival soldiers forced into an uneasy alliance against a common, monstrous foe. It’s a good standalone if you need a break from series reading orders.
For a more streamlined approach, you could just read 'Warriors of Ultramar' as a standalone if you're short on time. It's got enough context to work on its own, though you might miss some nuances about Uriel's past. But honestly, the action and pacing in this book are so good that it hooked me even without the backstory. I ended up going back to 'Nightbringer' afterward because I wanted more of McNeill's writing. The way he blends grimdark with tactical warfare is just chef's kiss.
If you're a completionist like me, the full Uriel Ventris Chronicles order is: 1) 'Nightbringer,' 2) 'Warriors of Ultramar,' 3) 'Dead Sky, Black Sun,' 4) 'The Killing Ground,' 5) 'Courage and Honour,' and 6) 'The Chapter’s Due.' Yeah, it's a commitment, but trust me, it pays off. 'Warriors of Ultramar' is where the stakes really escalate, with the Tyranid invasion feeling like a true galactic threat. McNeill's descriptions of the battles are so vivid—I still replay scenes in my head years later. And don’t skip the short stories like 'Consequences' if you can find them; they add little gems to the lore.
The 'Warriors of Ultramar' series is part of the larger Warhammer 40K universe, specifically focusing on the Ultramarines. If you're diving into this, I'd recommend starting with 'Nightbringer' by Graham McNeill—it introduces Uriel Ventris, the protagonist, and sets the tone for his journey. Then move to 'Warriors of Ultramar,' which continues his story. After that, 'Dead Sky, Black Sun' and 'The Killing Ground' wrap up his arc beautifully.
Some folks might suggest jumping straight into 'Warriors of Ultramar,' but I think 'Nightbringer' adds so much depth to Uriel's character that it's worth the extra time. Plus, the way McNeill builds the Ultramarines' lore in the first book makes the later conflicts feel more personal. If you're into audiobooks, the narration for these is solid too—great for commuting!
Reading order debates are half the fun with Warhammer 40K! For 'Warriors of Ultramar,' I went in blind and still loved it, but afterward, I binge-read the rest of the series backward. Unconventional? Sure. But it made me appreciate how well McNeill plants subtle callbacks to earlier events. If you're new to Ultramarines, maybe start with 'Warriors' and see if the vibe grabs you—then circle back to 'Nightbringer' if you crave more. Either way, the Tyranid siege in 'Warriors' is peak 40K tension.

The Obsidian Covenant #1: The Rejected Mate's Ruin
Evve

In a world where the moon shattered and the strong devoured the weak, Neoma Solstice is nothing. A scentless Null. A ghost. A mistake.
Until the day she saves a dying Lycan warrior with a touch, and her secret is revealed: she's Void-Born, the rarest mutation in existence. The same power that makes her invisible makes her invaluable—a living weapon that can cure the incurable Feral Rot plaguing the Lycan Ascendancy.
Captured and collared, Neoma is forced to serve as "Tether" to Unit Vanguard: four elite soldiers on the brink of madness. Barzil, the ruthless Commander who sees her as a mission. Wolfy, the cold Tactician who sees her as a puzzle. Viggo, the feral Berserker who sees her as salvation. Guller, the fallen Priest who sees her as redemption.
They own her contract. They control her life. They swear she's just a tool.
But tools don't make their masters kneel.
As Neoma's power grows, so does the threat she poses to the regime that enslaved her. When the prophesied Blood Moon rises, she'll have to choose: remain the Ascendancy's battery, or become the Void that devours them whole.
Some bonds are forged in blood. Some in magic. Theirs was forged in desperation—and it might be the only thing strong enough to save a dying world.
The Obsidian Covenant is a dark dystopian reverse harem romance featuring a morally gray FMC, four obsessive MLs, found family dynamics, enemies-to-lovers, rejected mate redemption, and a slow-burn that explodes into high heat. Perfect for fans of The Cruel Prince meets Den of Vipers in a post-apocalyptic wasteland.
No choosing. No apologies. No mercy.

He was a warrior. He was meant to protect the King and the Kingdom. His name brought the fear for life in warriors across the world. What he never thought he would become was the High King of two Emperors. Their Warrior, Their Saviour, Their Partner, Their Husband. He became all of it.

This is the story of mortals and gods alike, working together to save their home from the chaotic threat that lurks above their home, waiting...planning...
In a world dominated by a ruthless empire, Nia Wolfsong, an Omega survivor of a border massacre, has spent years hiding in the shadows, driven by vengeance and a desire to dismantle the empire that destroyed her village. Her mission: to bring down the emperor and everything he built. But when she crosses paths with Ash Ravenspine, a former general of the empire who has been manipulated and twisted by the very forces Nia despises, everything she believes is put to the test.
Ash, once a loyal soldier, has spent years fighting for an empire that turned him into a weapon. Betrayed by his own, he is forced to confront the darkness of his past and the man he has become. Together, Nia and Ash form an uneasy alliance, navigating a world where loyalties shift and survival is the only certainty.
As the rebellion against the empire grows, Nia and Ash must face not only the empire’s wrath but their own fractured pasts. Love, betrayal, and revenge intertwine as they fight for freedom—knowing that every victory might cost them everything. In a battle for a new world, who will survive, and at what cost?
The final chapters of 'Warriors of Ultramar' deliver a brutal, climactic showdown between the Ultramarines and the Tyranids that had been building since the first pages. Captain Uriel Ventris and his company make a desperate last stand on Tarsis Ultra, fighting not just for survival but to prove the ideals of the Codex Astartes can adapt to impossible odds. The imagery of the hive fleet's endless swarms clashing with disciplined blue armor is burned into my mind—especially when Uriel deliberately triggers an orbital bombardment on his own position to wipe out the Tyranid synapse creatures. It's messy, heroic, and quintessentially 40K, with just enough philosophical tension about breaking rigid doctrines to give weight to the explosions.
What stuck with me years later is how Graham McNeill balances spectacle with character moments—like Sergeant Learchus' gruff loyalty or Pasanius losing his arm in that molten metal trap. The epilogue hints at bigger consequences too, setting up Uriel's exile storyline that continues in 'Dead Sky, Black Sun.' The whole finale feels like a turning point where the Ultramarines' polished image gets some much-needed grit.
Oh, diving into Aaron Dembski-Bowden's 'Night Lords' trilogy is like stepping into a dark, twisted symphony—every note matters, and the order absolutely shapes the experience. The omnibus collects all three books in the ideal sequence: 'Soul Hunter' first, where you meet Talos and his broken, poetic brutality. It’s the foundation, showing how these traitors cling to their grotesque honor. Then 'Blood Reaver' cranks up the chaos, diving deeper into their fractured brotherhood and the siege of Crythe. Finally, 'Void Stalker' wraps it all up with a gut-punch of inevitability, where every choice catches up to them.
Honestly, reading them out of order would ruin the emotional arc—Talos’ journey from disillusionment to nihilistic resolve needs that buildup. The omnibus also includes the short story 'Throne of Lies,' which fits perfectly between 'Soul Hunter' and 'Blood Reaver,' adding nuance to their dynamics. If you skip ahead, you’d miss how Dembski-Bowden layers their degradation, like watching a wound fester in slow motion. It’s grimdark at its finest, but only if you let it unfold right.
