Why Read This Book?

Witness the terrifying extremes Horus is prepared to reach in his obsession to seize the throne, and the shocking atrocities he is eager to inflict upon humanity's last loyal defenders.

The Plot

The catastrophic bombardment of Terra officially erupted on the thirteenth day of Secundus. Having shattered the system's outer defensive lines through the sheer, brute force of the Traitor fleet and volatile warp sorcery, Horus has brought his full wrath to bear upon the cradle of mankind.

Following a grueling, relentless opening barrage, a massive land campaign ignites just beyond the Imperial Palace walls. Every single foot of ground surrendered is bought with the blood of billions. The front lines have devolved into an unimaginable slaughterhouse where the atmosphere itself is choked with toxic fumes and gore. Millions of souls are cast directly into the meat grinder. Even with legendary loyalist Primarchs anchoring the defense, the outer fortifications are rapidly crumbling under the pressure. Horus has unleashed his most terrifying commanders to break the stalemate; between the biological horrors engineered by Mortarion and the savage madness of Angron, the defenders find themselves fighting a desperate, losing war.
