The Shadow Crusade — books on the story line

An overview of Angron and Lorgar’s campaign against Ultramar and its related stories. Butcher’s Nails leads into the campaign; Betrayer depicts Armatura and the later return to Nuceria. Kronus in Inheritor and Percepton in The Purge are separate fronts, while The Revelation of the Word follows Lorgar’s arc. Three Conqueror stories depict the aftermath of Angron’s ascension. This is not a required sequence of all eight works: the fronts’ exact synchronization is unestablished. The Purge’s earlier archive and Terra scenes do not date the campaign’s beginning; Calth and ancient Nuceria remain separate events.
