About the book: year / This is the era of legends. The galaxy is on fire. The Emperor's glorious plan for humanity is destroyed. His beloved son Horus turned away from his father's light and embraced Chaos. His armies, the mighty and valiant Space Marines, are locked in a brutal civil war. Once these ideal warriors fought side by side as brothers, protecting the Galaxy and returning humanity to the light of the Emperor. Now they are separated. Some remain loyal to the Emperor, others joined the Warmaster. Among them, the leaders of thousands of Legions - the primarchs - stand out. Majestic superhumans, they are the crown of the Emperor's genetic art. The sides are locked in battle, and it is unclear which of them will prevail. The planets are burning. On Isstvan V, Horus struck a brutal blow, and the three loyal Legions were all but destroyed. A war has begun - a confrontation whose flames will engulf all of humanity. In place of honor and nobility came treason and betrayal. There are killers lurking in every shadow. Armies are gathering. Everyone must choose a side, or die. Horus is preparing his armada. The object of his wrath is Terra herself. Seated on the Golden Throne, the Emperor awaits the return of the prodigal son. However, his true enemy is Chaos, the primordial force that seeks to subject humanity to its fickle whims. The cries of the innocent and the pleas of the righteous are echoed by the cruel laughter of the Dark Gods. If the Emperor fails and loses the war, suffering and damnation await everyone. The era of knowledge and enlightenment is over. The Age of Darkness has arrived. (translation - Crimson Baron)
