The End And The Death: Volume III (The Horus Heresy: Siege of Terra, Book 8, Part 3)

The Siege of Terra reaches its final chapter as the Emperor faces his fallen son, Horus, in a climactic duel that will decide the fate of humanity. After years of galactic civil war, the end has come — father against son, Emperor against Warmaster.

Sanguinius lies dead, slain by Horus, while Terra burns and reality itself begins to collapse. The last defenders of humanity rally together, with the Dark Angels holding the Hollow Mountain against Typhus’s plague legions and Malcador the Sigillite sacrificing himself upon the Golden Throne to buy precious time.

Meanwhile, Roboute Guilliman speeds toward the Throneworld, uncertain if he will find only ashes and ruin — a Chaos-corrupted Horus victorious — or the Emperor standing in triumph. One thing is certain: victory will come at a terrible cost.
