Description
At the height of humanity's greatest expansion, the Emperor of Mankind entrusts his vast galactic empire to Horus, his most celebrated military commander, while he returns to Terra to pursue his ultimate vision. As the newly appointed Warmaster, Horus must navigate the treacherous politics of the Imperium's most powerful leaders—each commanding their own legions and harboring their own ambitions. When whispers of doubt and darker influences begin to undermine the Emperor's grand design, Horus faces an impossible choice that will determine the fate of human civilization itself. This epic opening to the Warhammer 40,000 universe explores themes of power, loyalty, and corruption as the seeds of the Imperium's greatest conflict are sown. Dan Abnett crafts a sweeping military science fiction narrative that captures the scale and complexity of an empire on the brink of transformation.
