Plot (spoilers: many)
The Burning through the eyes of the Wolves and of the “traitor” among them. It explains why Russ is an executioner and not an envious man, and how Horus swapped the order. Read strictly as a pair with “A Thousand Sons”: the atlas deliberately keeps one event with two viewpoints.
