description: Book 13 in The Horus Heresy Primarch SeriesEach primarch is an exemplary being derived from the Emperors own genetic stock to embody a facet of His personality. Their powers are unfathomable but only one of them is the First. Lion ElJonson is the paragon of what it is to be a primarch. His Legion pre-eminent for most of their long history typify the virtues of temperance pride and martial excellency that the Lion embodies. They are the Emperors last line and final sanction. They are His Dark Angels. Now while the Emperor gathers His mightiest sons for an assault on Ullanor Prime the Lord of the First instead draws his Legion to the farthest reaches of the known galaxy seeking to subdue a single rebellious world. Is this but another example of the Lions infamous pride or is there more afoot amidst that graveyard of empires that is the Ghoul Stars more than the Lion will share even with his own sons?
