The Great Crusade continues to push humanity farther into the stars, but cracks are beginning to show in the foundation of the Imperium. As the newly appointed Warmaster, Horus struggles to manage the growing jealousy and resentment of his superhuman brother Primarchs.
Everything changes when a routine mission on the swamp-planet of Davin goes horribly wrong. Stricken down by an otherworldly weapon, a mortally wounded Horus faces a battle unlike any he has fought before—a war for his own soul. Left vulnerable, he becomes the prime target for the ultimate temptations of Chaos. Can the greatest champion of mankind resist, or will the galaxy burn?
