Ahriman languishes on the threshold of space and time, adrift in a sub-realm of unknowable dimension and aspect. He has found it at long last: the ancient device known to the necrons as the Key of Infinity. This should be his moment of triumph – but he is not the Ahriman he used to be. Betrayed and lost, he is a solitary sorcerer, bereft of allies, standing amongst the smashed and ruined ephemera of his grand designs.

Doom has come upon the Thousand Sons. A plague of fire and dust stalks the Legion across time and space, born from the sorcerous Rubric that saved them from annihilation and damned them for eternity. One by one, the spirits of the Rubricae are vanishing from the prisons of their armour—and one by one, living sorcerers are cursed to take their place. Driven by the obsessive need to save his Legion and find redemption, Ahzek Ahriman seeks the time-altering technology of the forgotten necrons to overwrite his past mistakes.

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.

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.

Als Prätorianer des Imperators werden Rogal Dorn und seine VII. Legion vom Großen Kreuzzug zurückgerufen, doch erst als der Verrat des Kriegsherrn ans Licht kommt, offenbart sich das ganze Ausmaß ihrer Pflicht. Zum ersten Mal seit Ausbruch des Krieges wird das Sol-System direkt angegriffen und viele der scheinbar unüberwindlichen Verteidigungsanlagen, die von den Imperial Fists errichtet wurden, erweisen sich als unzureichend.

For Ianthe, war is all too familiar. A former soldier in the Astra Militarum, she now serves Inquisitor Covenant as an agent of the Throne. Her first mission sees her investigating a cult called the Children of Eternity. Falling foul of the local Enforcers, Ianthe soon learns that war in the shadows is seldom straightforward and that the local, angry law-keepers are the least of her troubles.

Ahriman vegetiert auf der Schwelle von Zeit und Raum und treibt hilflos durch ein Zwischenreich unbekannter Größe und Gestalt. Zu guter Letzt hat er gefunden, wonach er gesucht hat: jene uralte Apparatur der Necrons, die als der Schlüssel zur Unendlichkeit bekannt ist. Es sollte ein Moment des Triumphes sein, aber er ist nicht mehr der Ahriman, der er einst gewesen ist. Er ist verraten und verloren, ein einsamer Hexer ohne Verbündete, umgeben von den Trümmern seiner großen Pläne.

Das Unheil ist den Thousand Sons auf den Fersen. Der Rubrica-Zauber hat einen Fluch aus Feuer und Staub heraufbeschworen, der sie über die Grenzen von Raum und Zeit hinweg verfolgt. Die Geister der Rubricae verschwinden aus den Kerkern ihrer Rüstungen, während die lebenden Hexer nach und nach ihren Platz einnehmen. Getrieben von der Not, seine Legion zu retten, und im Streben nach Wiedergutmachung sucht Ahzek Ahriman nach der zeitverändernden Technologie des vergessenen Necron-Volkes, um die Vergangenheit umzuschreiben.

Es hat viele Jahre und unzählige Opfer gefordert, doch letztendlich ist Ahriman, ehemals oberster Librarian der Thousand Sons, doch nun Exilant und Hexer, bereit, die bedeutendste und wagemutigste Tat seines ganzen Lebens zu vollbringen. Seine Suche nach Wissen und Macht diente einem einzigen Ziel, das nun zum Greifen nahe ist. Welches Ziel? Nichts Geringeres als die Wiedergutmachung seines größten Scheiterns, die Umkehrung des Rubrica-Zaubers, der seine Legion verdammte.

Ahriman, der größte Hexer der Thousand Sons und Erschaffer des Rubrica-Zaubers, der einst seine Legion zu Fall brachte, wandert weiter dem Pfad zur Erlösung oder zur Verdammnis. Auf der Suche nach einer Heilung für seine Legion wird er gezwungen, sich einer schwerwiegenden Frage zu stellen – war das große Ritual von Anfang an zum Scheitern verurteilt? Die Antwort auf diese Frage könnte ein mysteriöses Artefakt bieten: das Athenäum von Kalimakus, ein Grimoire vergessenen Wissens.

Staub und Asche... Von seinem Vater Magnus dem Roten und seinen Brüdern verschmäht, ist Ahriman ein heimatloser Hexer des Tzeentch, dessen Taten eine ganze Legion für alle Ewigkeiten verdammten. Einst war er ein vielgepriesener Bruder der Thpusand Sons, doch jetzt ist er ein Ausgestoßener und Abtrünniger, der sich im Wirbel des Chaos verbirgt. Dort schmiedet er Pläne, um seine alte Macht wiederzuerlangen. Er ist ein Architekt des Schicksals, ein Meister des Warp, der danach trachtet, seine Feinde zu zerschmettern.

As the Great Rift unfolds in the night sky above Terra and daemons walk upon the birth world of mankind, the Primarch Roboute Guilliman returns, heralding a dark new age. During the breaking storm, Cypher and his band of Fallen escape from the most secure prison in the Imperium. Now loose in the Imperial Palace, they are hunted by warriors of the Dark Angels, forces of the Adeptus Custodes, and Imperial Assassins. But what are Cypher’s intentions? Can anything or anyone be trusted?

Darkness approaches Dominicus Prime, a literal Season of Night that brings with it portents, madness and strange happenings. Standing alone as a beacon against the darkness is the Monastery of the Last Candle, a temple to the holy light of the Emperor. As the bishops and the cardinals vie for power and influence, a crisis looms among the Pilgrim Drift who are starving in their droves. Discord is rife, and there are whispers of a rising cult, one committed to blood and horror.

War rages in the Caradryad Sector. Worlds are falling to madness and rebellion, and the great war machine of the Imperium is moving to counter the threat. Amongst its agents is Inquisitor Covenant. Puritan, psyker, expert swordsman, he reserves an especial hatred for those of his order who would seek to harness the power of Ruin as a weapon. Summoned to an inquisitorial conclave, Covenant believes he has uncovered such a misguided agent and prepares to denounce the heretic Talicto before his fellows.

Cado Ezechiar is a wanderer who has outlived the memory of the age that made him. A Soulblight vampire who accepted the curse as his people and kingdom fell to Chaos, he now roams the Realm of Death and beyond seeking retribution and salvation for the ones he failed. Aided by the bound spirits of those he lost, Cado follows a path of revenge, hunting the servants of Chaos to slake his need for blood while seeking the Sorcerer of Change who destroyed his kingdom.

It has taken many long years and countless sacrifices, but finally Ahriman, former Chief Librarian of the Thousand Sons, now exile and sorcerer, is ready to attempt the most audacious and daring feat of his long life. His quest for knowledge and power has all been for one purpose, and he would now see that purpose fulfilled. His goal? Nothing less than undoing his greatest failure and reversing the Rubric that damned his Legion.

The Great Crusade is ending. The Emperor has returned to Terra, while Horus remains among the stars to complete the unification of humanity. As the Imperial armies fight the final battles of the age, Remembrancer Solomon Voss seeks the answer to one question—why does Sigismund, First Captain of the Imperial Fists and greatest champion of the Legions, believe that war will not end? Granted a rare audience with the master of the Templars, the answer takes Voss on a revelatory journey to a time before Sigismund became a Space Marine.

Ahriman, greatest sorcerer of the Thousand Sons and architect of the Rubric that laid his Legion low, continues to walk the path towards salvation, or damnation. Searching for a cure for his Legion, he is forced to consider - was the great ritual somehow flawed from the very beginning? The answer may lie within the mysterious artefact known as the Athenaeum of Kalimakus, a grimoire of forgotten knowledge that is reputed to contain the exact words of the lost Book of Magnus...or, perhaps, even a transcription of the primarch’s deepest and most secret thoughts.
