WHY YOU SHOULD READ IT
Fulgrim has entrusted his children with a seemingly simple task… but it soon reveals itself to be far more complex than it seemed. Delve into the fractured nature of the Emperor’s Children when things go awry: rampant arrogance, internal conflict, and clashing visions in a narrative filled with tension.
THE STORY
Fulgrim, Ascended Lord, Primarch of the IIIrd Legion, the Perfect Son, the Emperor-in-waiting, has issued a challenge to his scattered warriors: conquer the Imperial world of Crucible and bring him the head of the Black Templar charged with its defence.
But Fulgrim’s plans go far beyond the capture of a single planet. What should have been a swift and bloody offensive turns into a grueling siege. With success increasingly uncertain, a world consumed by flames, and the Legion turning its weapons both inward and outward, the self-proclaimed champions must face a bitter truth: what are they willing to sacrifice for victory and the favor of their Primarch? And what will remain of them when the war is over?
