In the Octarius Sector, the Empire's worst fears have come true. For years, the Tyranids of Hive Fleet Leviathan have been engaged in a war of attrition with the Orks. Now, the conflict has spread into surrounding space, and xenos forces descend on the Imperial planets, hungry for battle and biomatter.
The combined forces of the Death Guard, numerous Space Marine Chapters, and the legions of the Adeptus Mechanicus race to stem the tide of destruction that threatens to plunge the Pankallis Subsector into war. Not all hope is lost: Inquisitor Athocles Van Roth is hatching a plan, a high-risk endeavor that may result in the complete defeat of the Tyranid forces. The Empire must be ready to do whatever it takes to prevent the Octarius Sector from falling into ruin.
