Experience one of the defining moments in Blood Angels lore. Blending massive-scale warfare, heroic sacrifice, and the enduring struggle against an ancient curse, this novel reshapes the destiny of the Blood Angels and their Successor Chapters.
The Story
The Blood Angels face extinction. After devastating the Red Scar and wiping out countless Imperial worlds, the largest tendril of Hive Fleet Leviathan ever encountered bears down on Baal with overwhelming force.
In response, Commander Dante summons the Successor Chapters of the legendary Ninth Legion. For the first time since the Horus Heresy, the Sons of Sanguinius gather in unprecedented numbers, with tens of thousands of Space Marines united to defend their primarch's home world and halt the advance of the Great Devourer before it consumes the worlds beyond.
Yet even such a mighty alliance may not be enough. The Tyranid swarm numbers in the trillions, while the Blood Angels must also contend with the Black Rage—the tragic curse that haunts every descendant of Sanguinius. As the galaxy plunges into a dark new age, threats both within and beyond the battlefield could seal the Chapter's fate forever.
