Ahriman vegetiert auf der Schwelle von Zeit und Raum und treibt hilflos durch ein Zwischenreich unbekannter Größe und Gestalt. Zu guter Letzt hat er gefunden, wonach er gesucht hat: jene uralte Apparatur der Necrons, die als der Schlüssel zur Unendlichkeit bekannt ist. Es sollte ein Moment des Triumphes sein, aber er ist nicht mehr der Ahriman, der er einst gewesen ist. Er ist verraten und verloren, ein einsamer Hexer ohne Verbündete, umgeben von den Trümmern seiner großen Pläne.

After seven years of bitter war, the end has come at last for the conflict known infamously as the Horus Heresy. Terra now lies within the Warmaster’s sights, the Throneworld and the seat of his father’s rule. Horus’ desire is nothing less than the death of the Emperor of Mankind and the utter subjugation of the Imperium. He has become the ascendant vessel of Chaos and amassed a terrible army with which to enact his will and vengeance. But the way to the Throne will be hard as the primarch Rogal Dorn, the Praetorian and protector of Terra, marshals the defences.

The primarchs, nigh-immortal sons of the Emperor of Mankind, take the stage in a series of short stories showcasing some of their great deeds and hideous acts from across the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy.

As the Great Rift unfolds in the night sky above Terra and daemons walk upon the birth world of mankind, the Primarch Roboute Guilliman returns, heralding a dark new age. During the breaking storm, Cypher and his band of Fallen escape from the most secure prison in the Imperium. Now loose in the Imperial Palace, they are hunted by warriors of the Dark Angels, forces of the Adeptus Custodes, and Imperial Assassins. But what are Cypher’s intentions? Can anything or anyone be trusted?

For Ianthe, war is all too familiar. A former soldier in the Astra Militarum, she now serves Inquisitor Covenant as an agent of the Throne. Her first mission sees her investigating a cult called the Children of Eternity. Falling foul of the local Enforcers, Ianthe soon learns that war in the shadows is seldom straightforward and that the local, angry law-keepers are the least of her troubles.

Auf Befehl des Kriegsherrn Horus brennt die gesamte Galaxis und jeden Tag verlieren Millionen Menschen ihr Leben. Doch einst stand der Titel des Kriegsherrn für Ehre, Loyalität und den grimmigen Stolz auf die Stärke der Space-Marine-Legionen. Vielleicht lässt sich etwas Licht in dieses Dunkel bringen, indem man den unzähligen Fäden des Schicksals und des Widerstands folgt, die sich schon immer um die Primarchen und ihre Söhne rankten. Vielleicht lässt sich so die Bitterkeit verstehen, die selbst an der standhaftesten Seele nagt.

Das Unheil ist den Thousand Sons auf den Fersen. Der Rubrica-Zauber hat einen Fluch aus Feuer und Staub heraufbeschworen, der sie über die Grenzen von Raum und Zeit hinweg verfolgt. Die Geister der Rubricae verschwinden aus den Kerkern ihrer Rüstungen, während die lebenden Hexer nach und nach ihren Platz einnehmen. Getrieben von der Not, seine Legion zu retten, und im Streben nach Wiedergutmachung sucht Ahzek Ahriman nach der zeitverändernden Technologie des vergessenen Necron-Volkes, um die Vergangenheit umzuschreiben.

The Horus Heresy is an epic conflict spanning hundreds of worlds and thousands of battles, laced with countless tales of heroism and valour, betrayal and villainy. This anthology collects some of the most memorable, featuring every one of the Loyalist and Traitor Legions. Whether you're a veteran Legionary or exploring the grim setting of the Horus Heresy for the first time, this handpicked collection of 21 existing short stories features gripping tales for each of the Loyalist and Traitor Legions that waged wars of betrayal and destruction on an immeasurable scale.

Doom has come upon the Thousand Sons. A plague of fire and dust stalks the Legion across time and space, born from the sorcerous Rubric that saved them from annihilation and damned them for eternity. One by one, the spirits of the Rubricae are vanishing from the prisons of their armour—and one by one, living sorcerers are cursed to take their place. Driven by the obsessive need to save his Legion and find redemption, Ahzek Ahriman seeks the time-altering technology of the forgotten necrons to overwrite his past mistakes.

It has taken many long years and countless sacrifices, but finally Ahriman, former Chief Librarian of the Thousand Sons, now exile and sorcerer, is ready to attempt the most audacious and daring feat of his long life. His quest for knowledge and power has all been for one purpose, and he would now see that purpose fulfilled. His goal? Nothing less than undoing his greatest failure and reversing the Rubric that damned his Legion.

The Sabbat War is a savage Imperial crusade, cutting a bloody, burning path across a vast swathe of the Imperium's lost territory.
