After seven years of bitter war, the end has come at last for the conflict known infamously as the Horus Heresy. Terra now lies within the Warmaster’s sights, the Throneworld and the seat of his father’s rule. Horus’ desire is nothing less than the death of the Emperor of Mankind and the utter subjugation of the Imperium. He has become the ascendant vessel of Chaos and amassed a terrible army with which to enact his will and vengeance. But the way to the Throne will be hard as the primarch Rogal Dorn, the Praetorian and protector of Terra, marshals the defences.

Dans la grande cité de Glargh, les Veilleurs veillent — ou du moins, ils essaient. Et puis il y a les Furets, l'unité de bleusaille la moins crédible du guet : un charcutier reconverti en soldat, un ingénieur porté sur la bouteille, une amazone prompte à distribuer des baffes, un médecin trop bavard, un Nain, une magicienne… Bref, une bande mal assortie qu'on confie habituellement à la surveillance des latrines. Mais quand on leur colle une vraie affaire — un double meurtre, rien que ça —, l'excitation retombe vite. Et si ce n'était pas une chance qu'on leur offrait, mais un piège ?

Horus has rebelled against the Emperor by purging his and his brother's Legions, but what was supposed to be a secret act of murder has been revealed. In the Emperor's name, Rogal Dorn and Malcador the Sigillite dispatch the largest force of legionaries and primarchs ever assembled to end Horus' rebellion before it can begin. But the loyalists, on their way to enact vengeance, do not know the depth of the betrayal they face. They will not be the perpetrators of a massacre, but its victims.

Experience the beginning of an epic, time-twisting saga of revenge, betrayal and attempted atonement. John French takes the Ahriman you know and love from the Horus Heresy in new and interesting directions, making him both deeply sympathetic and thoroughly evil.
