Book 6 in the best-selling mini-series, The Horus Heresy: Siege of
Terra
The Inner Walls are breached. Traitor vanguards tear towards the heart
of the Palace, sensing victory. Desperate gambits are attempted: an
unwilling saint is released into the ruins, as well as an enthusiastic
sinner. A black sword rises, forged from spite, ready to create a
legend. But amid the slaughter, Jaghatai Khan, Warhawk of Chogoris,
prepares to launch the most audacious strike of the conflict. His goal
is nothing less than the liberation of the Lion's Gate space port. Cut
off from any help, he stakes everything on one desperate
counter-offensive, launched against an old enemy who has been made far
greater than he ever was before. As the White Scars ride out against the
newly crowned lords of life and death, they know that defeat for them
dooms not only the Legion, but Terra itself.
