On the planet Colchis, mighty churches ruled a degraded civilization in the name of imaginary gods. Everything changed with the arrival of Lorgar—the Primarch, the prophet, the Golden. A natural leader, he was raised by Kor Phairon, a priest of the Covenant, who saw the child as a means to gain personal power. Now, when the planet is engulfed by a religious war, on whose front lines the Lorgar’s Brotherhood fights, the Primarch is tormented by visions of the future and the coming of the Emperor. To find his place in the new world, he must strike a balance between the teachings of his adoptive father and the demands of fate that will bring Urizen among the stars.
