THE HISTORY
Fallen times have come to the galaxy. Cadia has fallen, destroyed by the onslaught of Chaos. In its wake, a Great Rift has opened in the warp, dividing the galaxy in two, and from its depths spew demons and the horrors of Old Night.
But all hope is not lost. A son of the Emperor has risen from his long slumber, and with him comes the wrath of the reborn Ultramarines. Roboute Guilliman has returned to lead the Empire out of darkness, in a crusade the likes of which have not been seen since the legendary days of the Emperor.
But never before have the forces of the Ruinous Powers amassed in such numbers, and no place is safe from their influence. From the dreaded Plague Stars come the hordes of the Plague Father, Lord Nurgle, and their pustular eyes are fixed on Macragge. As the Indomitus Crusade continues, Guilliman races to Ultramar to confront the Death Watch and his traitor brother, Mortarion.
