Furthermore, this is another crucial chapter, as it sets the base of the story, brings another important character to the novel and lays the foundation for what is probably the most important part of Imperium history. This small segment is an extract from a book written by Cyrene Valantion called 'The Pilgrimage', in which it describes her eyewitness account of the destruction of Monarchia by the Ultramarines. A rich quote from the extract is, "We called them false angels"; highlighting the worship that the Word Bearers were punished for by the Emperor. Following the events of Scars ( Book 28), four years have passed and the White Scars are fully committed to fighting the Traitor Legions as they begin their march to Terra. But they have been slowly and surely hemmed in by burgeoning Warp Storms and the might of four legions deep in the galactic north. Caught betweens this opposition and the internal psychological damages his legion is suffering from attrition warfare, Jagathai Khan and his allies turn their efforts to uncovering another path to Terra, one that unearths secrets of the divided Navis Nobilite and the Emperor Himself. But the much-changed Emperor's Children under a resurrected & mutated Eidolon and the growing darkness of the Death Guard under Mortarion are hot on their heels, and to open the Path of Heaven not all will see the Heresy to the end...

Certain special editions are available in limited distribution months before the release of the corresponding regular, or wider-release, versions. Following the razing of Prospero, Magnus the Red now refuges on the aptly unnamed Planet of the Sorcerers, deep within the Eye of Terror. the remnants of the Thousand Sons Legion realise that Magnus was effectively shattered following his fight with Russ – his mind and memories are slipping away into the tumult of the warp. In desperation, Ahzek and Amon (and a very unwilling Lucius) travel to the scenes of Magnus' greatest triumphs and tragedies in hope to restore him once more. But to do so, they must confront hunters of both the Space Wolves and the Knights Errant, along with their own internal strife of the returning flesh change and the decision of whether to join Horus to besiege Terra.

Angron, Daemon Primarch of the World Eaters and now-Herald of Horus following Mortarion spearheads the carnage though the fire and ash of Terra's dying breaths. In the wake of the Red Angel and the armies of the damned, Chaos is preparing to change Terra into an image more to its liking (and less to the Loyalists' sanity). With the Khan on the edge of death, Dorn beleaguered at Bhab Bastion, and Guilliman (seemingly) not going to make it in time, it falls to Sanguinius – fated-to-die Angel of the Ninth Legion – to rally the defenders and refugees for one more stand at the Delphic Battlement, the very walls of the Sanctum Imperialis, and paint the golden Eternity Gate blood red if he must if it means the Traitors shall not pass. A connected anthology of short stories that focuses on Garro following the Flight of the Eisenstein (Book 4) during the Silent War. Now a Knight Errant and Agentia Primus of Malcador the Sigillite, Garro is sent on a number of clandestine missions from the desolations of Calth and Isstvan to the halls of the Imperial Palace itself. Incidentally, Garro is also walking a path of his own, one that leads him to both the secrets of Malcador's 'Othrys' project and the growing Lecticio Divinitatus cult, and to question his own place in the Imperium both in the current civil war and what might emerge when it is over. a b In some editions, Book 9 is subtitled Knowledge is power, see Mechanicum: [knowledge is power] in libraries ( WorldCat catalog).

Luther goes into isolation to deliberate, and only the Lord Cypher has access to him during that time. Roughly a solar week later, Zahariel converses with the Watchers in the Dark. The Watchers reveal that they are a xenos species that has kept Caliban's Warp taint at bay for millennia. Zahriel informed Luther that a new ritual, much larger and more dangerous than the last, is under way. Luther says Caliban's fate is already sealed. Luther tells of his first meeting with Lion El'Jonson in the wilds; and he says that the Lion knew of the Warp taint all along and "he's spilled an ocean of blood to keep the truth from us."

It is later revealed that the Imperium has been cramming the population of Caliban into the worst residential zones of the new hive cities, while immigrants from Terra receive the best accommodations. Fifty-three standard years pass, and Luther greatly increases recruitment of new Dark Angels for the crusade from Caliban during that time. Lion El'Johnson does not visit Caliban even once in that span of years. Zahariel begins to suspect that the Dark Angels on Caliban have grown more loyal to Luther than to Johnson.
