The story

Isolated.

Alone.

Járnhamar Pack are forced to flee from the judgement of their own Chapter aboard a stolen voidship, amid an Imperium descending into total war. Still pursuing vengeances for old wrongs, these Space Wolves hunt the ruins of worlds in search of an enemy who remains stubbornly hidden. Yet as the perilous journey unfolds, the Pack learn their nemesis is not the only threat to their survival. They must also contend with the uncertain path chartered by one of their own, whose strange and unsanctioned powers continue to grow.

Their ultimate goal of a return to Fenris - with their honour restored and oaths re-sworn - becomes steadily more elusive. As the Imperium’s borders crumble and the long-prophecised onslaught of the Archenemy begins, Járnhamar Pack must race to uncover the truth of an ancient betrayal and halt its horror from coming to pass, lest everything they have ever fought for be destroyed in the coming storm.

A fantastic end to one of the greatest stories.

After this trilogy it is safe to say Chris Wraight is one of the best authors in Black Library, period. This review is primarily for the entire thing, thought this book can be read standalone for definite. The story telling here is of the highest caliber, you learn and deal with themes such as pride and how important it is for one to overcome their own. You learn of the importance of supporting your friends when they are at their absolute lowest, even when that low hurts YOU. I cried several times over the the course of the three books but this last one had those moments in droves. We finally get to see a Space Marine focused novel on the fall of Cadia here and it is exactly what you'd want it to be. I truly hope Wraight returns to the Jarnhammar pack once again because I cant live in a world where they arent in the galaxy. I was a Space Wolves hater my entire adult life but this book brought so much life and love into the Vlka Fenryka. I am a convert after this trilogy.

FOR LEMAN OF THE RUSS!

This was a great listen, just need the first two space wolves books, thanks

Awesome.

This book is for the fans of the Vlka Fenryka. Deep souls, fierce warriors, pack brothers, and staunch defenders of the Imperium.

This is a very easy to follow and enjoyable book.

Though the conclusion of a trilogy, The Helwinter Gate works well enough as a stand-alone novel. It’s narrative is pretty straightforward, the Wolves are on a mission of vengeance and are also seeking to clear their names and the action scenes are frequent and well-written. The location-hopping helps keep things fresh and ensures it is a pacy book. Wraight adds his now-customary details that add a disproportionate depth to the story, and does some interesting things retelling the same events from different perspectives.

Good Listen

The book hatches out a lot about the mentality of the Space Wolves. It also pre shadows what I can only guess are future stories. Overall really good. Also, no one Ultramarine in the whole book. Thank the Throne.

Amazing

Amazing an absolute page turner the sons of Russ delivered once again! Let’s Go! For the all father

An excellent conclusion!

What a great end to the trilogy of the Jarnhamar pack. Loyalty, trust, growth, and excellent insight on what it truly means to be a Space Wolf, a Vilka Fenryka! For Russ! For the All Father!

one of the best yet again

Chris Wraight is the man love his books all the space will stuff is awesome this one especially too good listen to it you won't regret the time spent

Generally good

A bit rushed with some plot holes being resolved in ways I found unsatisfying, but generally a good listen.
