The Battle for Calth begins in a flash of breathtaking, brutal treachery.
Unaware of the widening galactic civil war and strictly following the Warmaster’s increasingly cryptic orders, Primarch Roboute Guilliman returns to Ultramar. His mission: muster the proud Ultramarines Legion for a coordinated war against the Orks massing in the Veridian system.
But it is a trap. Without warning, their supposed brothers and allies in the Word Bearers Legion launch a cataclysmic, devastating invasion of the world of Calth.
The Word Bearers instantly scatter the Ultramarines fleet and slaughter all who stand in their path, confirming the worst possible scenario Guilliman could imagine—Lorgar has come to settle their bitter, long-standing rivalry once and for all. As the traitors summon foul daemonic hosts and unleash the raw forces of Chaos, the unyielding Ultramarines are drawn into a grim, subterranean struggle for survival where neither side can afford to fail.
