The presence of Necrons has been discovered on the relatively recently colonized Imperial world of Hieronymus Theta. The planet is plunged into the abyss of war with a ruthless enemy that an ordinary person cannot resist.

These millstones will grind everyone, and not every imagination will be able to accommodate the number of victims that will be sacrificed on the altar of struggle.
