The legacy of the past can destroy the future! Cybele is a remote mausoleum world, a war memorial, which is guarded by a small garrison of the Order of the Bloody Angels. This order of the Adeptus Astartes is famous not only for its exploits, but also for its insurmountable flaw, the heavy legacy of the Heresy era, when the Primarch of the Angels, the godlike Sanguinius, fell in a duel with Horus. Sealed in the gene code of each Angel, the red thirst is capable of turning a cold-blooded warrior into a maddened beast. When the cursed Legion of Chaos attacks Cybele, the cruiser Bellus comes to the aid of the garrison just in time, returning to the home world of the Angels, Baal, with a glorious victory - the returned Spear of Telesto, the sacred weapon of Sanguinius himself. Cybele is liberated, but the trials of the Blood Angels are just beginning...
