The Shadow Crusade has begun. While the Ultramarines reel from Kor Phaeron's surprise attack on Calth, Lorgar and the rest of the Word Bearers strike deep into the realm of Ultramar.

While Horus' rebellion burns across the galaxy, a very different kind of war rages beneath the Imperial Palace.

The Warmaster’s horde advances through the fire and ash of Terra's dying breaths, forcing the loyalists back to the Delphic Battlement—the very walls of the Sanctum Imperialis.

When Horus fell, his Sons fell with him.

And of Abaddon, greatest of the Warmaster's followers, nothing has been heard for many years. Until now....

This Horus Heresy anthology contains eighteen short stories by authors such as Graham McNeill, Aaron Dembski-Bowden, Nick Kyme, and many more.

The Thramas Crusade draws to its inevitable conclusion, with the forces of the Dark Angels and the Night Lords locked in a struggle which neither side can abandon. The Night Haunter lies comatose after being mauled by his primarch brother Lion El'Jonson, and in his absence it falls to Sevatar and the remaining members of the Kyroptera to command the Legion. But the self-styled 'Prince of Crows' has his own plans to save the Night Lords from annihilation - plans he intends to follow, with or without his comrades in tow.

The Horus Heresy is a civil war on a scale the likes of which the galaxy has never seen before. After the Great Crusade united the disparate worlds of humanity, the very warriors who made it possible turned on each other and tore it apart. As word of Horus's treachery spreads to fully half of the Legiones Astartes, Terra looks to the remaining loyalist Space Marines to defend the Imperium.

The Dark Angels and the Night Lords fought one another to a bloody stalemate during the Thramas Crusade and, though the Lion eventually claimed victory, it left both Legions scattered and under-strength. Jago Sevatarion, First Captain of the Night Lords, languishes in a gaol cell in the heart of Ultramar. Far from a spent force, the Night Lords must consider where their loyalties lie, and what path they will take in the days and months to come.

After the destruction of Monarchia and the Emperor's reprimanding of the Word Bearers Legion, the primarch Lorgar spent many long years searching the stars for the universal truths of the cosmos - when he finally came to gaze deep into the Eye of Terror, with grim inevitability he found that the Eye stared back.

Der Schattenkreuzzug hat begonnen. Während die Ultramarines noch unter Kor Phaerons Überraschungsangriff auf Calth wanken, führt Lorgar den Rest der Word Bearers tief in das Reich von Ultramar. Ihre ungleichen Verbündeten, Angron und die World Eaters, scheinen den wahren Zielen ihrer Mission gegenüber blind zu sein und lieber jede neue Zivilisation vernichten zu wollen, die ihnen in den Weg kommt - doch wo Lorgar seinen unberechenbaren Bruder einst getadelt hätte, scheint er nun sein rasendes Blutvergießen nur noch zu ermutigen.

Von den Schlachtfeldern auf Phall und Istvaan zu den heimgesuchten Schatten von Terra selbst - der größte Krieg in der Geschichte der Menschheit wütet um sich.
