The superhuman heroes of the Adeptus Custodes are newly returned to the galaxy at large after millennia on Terra - how will they adapt to their new role, and can they hope to defend an Imperium on the edge of ruin? THE STORY For millennia the Adeptus Custodes have stayed true to their sworn duty - defend holy Terra and the God-Emperor to their very last breath. But when the Great Rift tears the Imperium apart, loosing tides of daemons upon mankind, they are faced with a dilemma. Should they continue to guard the Palace and the Golden Throne, or take to the stars to proactively root out the Ultimate Enemy?

When they arrive, they find a world in the grip of self-annihilation, overrun by Chaos cultists. In a race against time, the Custodians must find out what has happened, and hunt down those responsible, before the madness has a chance to reach its true target - something much closer to their hearts.
