The plague of Nurgle has set in deeply on the planet, forcing the Cadians into battle with an innumerable legion of the infected. In the midst of this hopeless struggle, Captain Parmenion Thade is thrust into an unlikely commanding role – yet he cannot imagine what lies ahead on Kathur, and just how important the fate of this world will become.
