Ein Horus Heresy-Erzählband. In der Galaxis herrscht Krieg, doch abseits der heldenhaften Taten, die auf den zahlreichen Schlachtfeldern vollbracht werden, wütet der Konflikt auch in der Dunkelheit. Malcador der Sigilit und seine geheimen Streiter stehen im Zentrum dieser Kurzgeschichtensammlung. Spannende Geschichten um Täuschung und Verrat während des großen Bruderkrieges, von denen viele zum ersten Mal in gedruckter Form erscheinen.

Auf Befehl des Kriegsherrn Horus brennt die gesamte Galaxis und jeden Tag verlieren Millionen Menschen ihr Leben. Doch einst stand der Titel des Kriegsherrn für Ehre, Loyalität und den grimmigen Stolz auf die Stärke der Space-Marine-Legionen. Vielleicht lässt sich etwas Licht in dieses Dunkel bringen, indem man den unzähligen Fäden des Schicksals und des Widerstands folgt, die sich schon immer um die Primarchen und ihre Söhne rankten. Vielleicht lässt sich so die Bitterkeit verstehen, die selbst an der standhaftesten Seele nagt.
