Space Marine Conquest

The Blood Angels Chapter of Space Marines is under threat. Having obliterated all human life in the Red Scar region of space, the largest tendril of Hivefleet Leviathan ever seen in the Imperium has converged and is making relentlessly for Baal. To face this awesome foe, Commander Dante has called upon the Successor Chapters of the ancient Ninth Legion. The Sons of Sanguinius gather in numbers not seen since the dark days of the Horus Heresy.

The age of the Dark Imperium has begun, and the human race is poised on the brink of ruin. In their darkest hour, the Emperor’s servants have achieved the impossible: the resurrection of the Primarch Roboute Guilliman. Now Lord Commander of the Imperium of Man, Guilliman marshals his forces in a desperate effort to drive back the predations of Chaos: the Indomitus Crusade. Dispatched ahead of the bulk of Guilliman’s war fleets, Chaplain Helios of the Ultramarines is entrusted by the risen primarch with a mission of vital importance.

Lieutenant Xedro Farren is a Primaris Marine, stronger and more adept than even the Space Marines his brotherhood is sent to fight alongside. As the Dark Angels and the Primaris Marines fight a trauma-scarred force of T’au hellbent on destroying their former allies, the true quarry becomes clear - the shadowy instigator of a psychic curse that could plunge a string of Imperial planets into madness. As worlds burn in the fires of battle, an unthinkable pact is struck, with the Primaris Marines peeling back layer after layer of deceit to find the appalling truth.

Lieutenant Heyd Calder is a Primaris Marine whose mastery of warfare is matched only by his diplomatic prowess. Under the orders of Roboute Guilliman, he is deployed to Almace, a minor seat of the Ecclesiarchy, to protect the world at whatever cost. Yet even as diabolical forces leer from the system's edge, Calder discovers that the capital's Cardinal-Governor, a sharp, inscrutable figure of spiritual and material authority, is hiding something. When it becomes clear that conquest is not the enemy’s sole aim, Calder resolves to uncover the secret of Almace.

The grand halls of Fenris grow ever quieter in the wake of the Space Wolves' arduous campaigns. Concerned by his Chapter’s diminishing numbers, the Great Wolf Logan Grimnar entrusts Njal Stormcaller with a task - to find a remedy for their plight. When a 10,000-year-old enemy embeds itself in the Rune Priest’s mind, it claims that the salvation he seeks lies where an ancient enmity began - on Prospero, the ruined home world of the Thousand Sons Legion.

Sent to avenge the deaths of his brothers and purge a dangerous cult, Imperial Fists Primaris Librarian Aster Lydorran finds a foe beyond imagining on Ghyre. Lydorran must use all his strength, will and psychic might to defeat his hidden enemies and avert catastrophe.

Nach einem brutalen Feldzug gegen die fremdartigen Tyranids im Cryptus-System kehrt Lord Dante nach Baal zurück, um dort die Blood Angels und ihre Nachfolgeorden gegen die Schwarmflotte Leviathan zu sammeln. Die größte Schlacht in der Geschichte der Söhne des Sanguinius beginnt. Trotz schwerer Kämpfe im Weltraum um Baal, können die Blood Angels nicht verhindern, dass die Tyranids unaufhaltsam weiter vorzurücken. Ihre Bitte nach Unterstützung bringt entsetzliche Neuigkeiten ans Licht – das Tor von Cadia, die standhafteste Festung des Imperiums gegen das Chaos, ist gefallen.

Lieutenant Xedro Farren ist ein Primaris Marine, stärker und fähiger als sogar die Space Marines, an deren Seite zu kämpfen seine Bruderschaft ausgeschickt wurde. Als die Dark Angels und die Primaris Marines eine traumatisierte Streitmacht der T'au bekämpfen, die versessen darauf ist, ihre früheren Verbündeten zu vernichten, wird das wirkliche Ziel offenbar: der schattenhafte Urheber eines psionischen Fluchs, der eine Reihe imperialer Planeten in den Wahnsinn stürzen könnte.
