Yarrick: the very name carries the weight of legend, of great deeds and of wars won for the Imperium.

As war engulfs the world, a plot unravels that pits old friends against one another and fashions unusual alliances. Chaos cults, the fanatical Adepta Sororitas and clandestine inquisitors all stand between Yarrick and his mission. Here is where the legend began. In this crucible was Lord Commissar Sebastian Yarrick forged in blood. The young Yarrick's first assignment was not an easy one, as rivalry between Imperial factions brought unforeseen complications to the destruction of an insidious chaos cult. Commissar versus Inquisition in a battle for supremacy!

The Space Marine daemon-hunters pursue the followers of the Plague God across the battlefield of the Imperium.

Stern muss sich der Gnade des Imperators würdig erweisen und eine Bedrohung abwenden, die die Menschheit in ein albtraumhaftes Nichts stürzen könnte. Ein Adepta Sororitas Roman

Die Kampftitanen des Adeptus Titanicus sind gigantische Kriegsmaschinen, die als Bildnisse des Maschinengottes in den Krieg ziehen. Die mächtigen Warlord-Titanen sind unter den Streitkräften des Imperiums der Menschheit die bekanntesten. Ihre Geschütze bringen sowohl Xenosvölkern als auch Ketzern den verdienten Tod und alleine der Anblick ihres Nahens hat schon planetenweite Aufstände erstickt. Doch während die Galaxis im Angesicht wütender Horden des Chaos brennt, wird mehr als eine Titanenlegion nötig sein, um die Stellung zu halten.

Die Space Marines vom Orden der Black Dragons werden auf die Welt Antagonis gerufen, um dort eine Untotenseuche zu bekämpfen. Dabei verbünden sie sich mit Inquisitor Werner Lettinger und einer Delegation des Adeptus Sororitas, um die Seelen jener Bürger des Imperiums zu retten, die der Infektion zum Opfer gefallen sind.

Teraz stając naprzeciw wrogiemu imperium, na kontrolowanej przez orków planecie Thoas, Gulliman musi ostrożnie dobrać swój arsenał – inaczej jego sny o lepszej przyszłości mogą zniknąć raz na zawsze.

Doch reichen sie aus, um das Gleichgewicht zugunsten des Imperiums zu kippen, oder muss ein anderes Mittel gefunden werden, um die Orks zu besiegen?
