Solomon Akurra träumt von seinem eigenen Reich. Als Erster Schinder hat er die verfeindeten Fraktionen der Alpha Legion unter seinem Kommando vereint und ganze Sternensysteme erobert. Mit dem vermeintlichen Fahlen Speer, der Waffe seines Primarchen, in der Hand, kämpft Solomon für eine neue Zukunft. Viele abtrünnige Kriegsfürsten wollen nur die Menschheit versklaven, doch der Geist hat ambitioniertere Ziele. Er will das Imperium zerschlagen und die Menschheit neu aufbauen. Doch seine Träume rufen Feinde auf den Plan und das Imperium erhebt sich gegen ihn, um die Geisterlegion und Solomons neue Welt zu vernichten. Um sein Reich zu verteidigen, muss der Erste Schinder all seine kämpferischen Fähigkeiten und Listen aufbieten. Er ist bereit sich in Geduld zu üben, doch in den Schatten lauern Assassinen und in den Reihen der Legion schwären Wut und Unstimmigkeiten. Ist der Preis für Solomons Vision vielleicht zu hoch?
