Cover description[1]

A scrivener writes the chronicle of Lord Fecht—a Death Guard leader forced to take refuge on an Imperial world after a crushing defeat. The tale tells of how Fecht and his small band of warriors manage to conquer this world by degrees, corrupting its population with virulence, and eventually using the planet to spread corruption throughout the wider Imperium.
