The skies darken over Terra as the final battle for the Throne looms ever closer…. As the Traitor primarchs muster to the Warmasters banner, it is Mortarion who is sent ahead as the vanguard of the Traitor forces.
As he and his warriors make way, they become lost in the warp and stricken by a terrible plague. Once thought of as unbreakable, the legendary Death Guard are brought to their knees. To save his Legion, Mortarion must strike a most terrible bargain that will damn his sons for eternity.
Meanwhile, in the cloisters of Holy Terra, a plot is afoot to create sedition and carnage in advance of the Horuss armies. Taking matters into his own hands, Malcador the Sigillite seeks to put a stop to any insurrection but discovers a plot that he will need all of his cunning and battle–craft to overcome.
