Book 1 of the Dark Imperium Trilogy
The first stage of the Indomitus Crusade is complete, and the conquering primarch Roboute Guilliman now turns his attention to his home. His traitorous brother, Mortarion, marches on Ultramar, and only Guilliman, with his armies of Primaris Space Marines, stands between the Death Guard and their deadly designs.

The story
Dark times have fallen upon the galaxy. Cadia lies in ruins, destroyed by the forces of Chaos. The opening of the Great Rift has torn the galaxy in two, unleashing daemons and the terrors of the Old Night.
Yet hope endures. Roboute Guilliman, son of the Emperor, has returned from his long slumber, bringing with him the reborn might of the Ultramarines. Leading the Imperium’s forces on a campaign of unprecedented scale, he seeks to reclaim order and strike back at the forces of Chaos.
But the Ruinous Powers have never been so numerous, and their influence spares no world. From the Scourge Stars, the armies of Lord Nurgle march, their eyes fixed on Macragge. As the Indomitus Crusade sweeps across the galaxy, Guilliman must race home to confront the Death Guard—and face his traitorous brother Mortarion.
