The Arks of Omen have sown fear and death from one side of the galaxy to the other. Despite the efforts of those who oppose them, their masters have gathered enough arcane artefacts for Vashtorr the Arkifane to construct his monstrous key. The hour draws nigh when the Daemon and the Despoiler will bring this engine of terrible power to life.
But there are still those who can oppose their sinister design. Chief amongst them are Supreme Grand Master Azrael and the many Orders of the Hosts of Retribution who fight beneath his banner. The Dark Angels and their successors are gathering their strength, responding to the Arkifane’s challenge in the hope of vanquishing the evil he and Abaddon seek to unleash. Nor are they alone in their task, for Commander Dante races to lead his Blood Angels – and countless other Imperial forces – in the coming battle.
Yet none of these great events compare to the return of a demigod long thought lost to the annals of legend. Lion El'Jonson, Primarch of the Dark Angels, has awakened, returning by strange paths to aid the Imperium in its darkest hour. Will the Lion triumph, or will the champions of Chaos unleash a new and nightmarish power upon the galaxy?
