Synopsis

Once the brightest star in the Imperium and always first among his primarch brothers, Horus has dragged the Space Marine Legions into the bloodiest conflict that the galaxy has ever seen. While their allies wage war on a thousand different fronts, the XVIth Legion descend upon the Knight world of Molech – home to the ruling House Devine, and a principal stronghold of the Imperial Army. The forces loyal to the Emperor stand ready to defy the Warmaster, but just what could have drawn Horus to attack such a well defended planet, and what might he be willing to sacrifice to fulfill his own dark destiny? Read it because He's been in the shadows since the opening trilogy, but it's finally time for Horus to reclaim his place at the forefront of his Heresy. And his plan is so jaw-droppingly audacious that it'll change the way you think about him forever... The eBook edition includes integrated illustrations of characters and events from the story, and an afterword that places the story in context within the series.
