**Book 5 in the global bestselling series, "The Horus Heresy: Siege of
Terra"
**
The victories of Saturnine and the sacrifices of the Eternity Wall space
port have faded into the hope of yesterday. Denied but not defeated, the
traitors intensify their assault on the Imperial Palace. With the
principal space ports in Horus' hands, the Warmaster now drains the
heavens of his reserves. As the pressure of the assault increases, the
power of Chaos waxes. The waking lives of the defenders are filled with
despair, while their dreams pull them in search of a false paradise. As
the fabric of the defences fails and the will of those who stand on them
cracks, Horus commands the Titans of the Legio Mortis to breach the
walls. Against them stands the might of Mercury Wall and the strength of
the Legio Ignatum. Ancient rivals, the god-engines of both Legions meet
in battle, while within the walls a few desperate individuals seek a way
to turn back the tide of the warp's malign influence. Across Terra lost
warriors and travellers make their way through wastelands and gardens of
horror, towards home and an unknown future.
