The story
After seven years of bitter civil war, the Horus Heresy reaches its climax. Terra itself lies in the Warmaster’s sights, the Throneworld and the seat of the Emperor’s rule. Horus seeks nothing less than the Emperor’s death and the complete subjugation of the Imperium. As the chosen vessel of Chaos, he commands a massive army dedicated to enacting his will and vengeance.
But the path to the Throne is fiercely defended. Rogal Dorn, Primarch and Praetorian of Terra, marshals the Imperium’s defences with unmatched skill. Before Horus can set foot on Terran soil, he must confront the Solar War—battles across the Sol System itself, where fleets clash and fortresses hold firm. The first stage of the greatest conflict in human history has begun.
