THE STORY
“The dream… is an omen… of the end.”
The fortress world of Regium has a proud history. While others fell to ruin and damnation, it endured for millennia and stood firm in defence of the Imperium of Mankind. But now its very foundations are shaken. Parasitic plagues spread, and its people dream of monstrous horrors feeding upon their flesh and bones.
Lieutenant Castamon of the Ultramarines knows the signs of an approaching Tyranid invasion all too well. The battle-hardened veteran gathers his warriors and dispatches a strike force to the edge of the system to destroy the xenos before they reach Regium. But this new tendril of Hive Fleet Leviathan proves unpredictable and deadly, forcing Castamon and the First Company to muster all their skill, strength, and determination to avoid total annihilation.
