This book is mostly a prequel starting 50 years prior to the events of the Hersey, at the point where the Ultramarines and the Emperor chastise the Word Bearers by wiping out the city Monarchia. The Word Bearers considered this the perfect city, devoted to worshipping the Emperor, a crime in the 30k Imperium. The entire legion is made to kneel in the ashes of the city and rebuked by the Emperor himself. Following this humiliation, Lorgar and his legion, begin the search to find gods worthy of their worship…
The blurb from the book reads as follows:
Amidst the galaxy-wide war of the Great Crusade, the Emperor castigates the Word Bearers for their worship. Distraught at this judgement, Lorgar and his Legion seek another path while devastating world after world, venting their fury and fervour on the battlefield. Their search for a new purpose leads them to the edge of the material universe, where they meet ancient forces far more powerful than they could have imagined. Having set out to illuminate the Imperium, the corruption of Chaos takes hold and their path to damnation begins. Unbeknownst to the Word Bearers, their quest for truth contains the very roots of heresy.
