The Inner Walls are breached. Traitor vanguards tear towards the heart of the Palace. Desperate gambits are attempted. A black sword rises, forged from spite, ready to create a legend. Amid the slaughter, Jaghatai Khan, Warhawk of Chogoris, prepares to launch the most audacious strike of the conflict to liberate the Lion’s Gate space port. Cut off, he stakes everything on one desperate counter-offensive against an old enemy. 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.
