 Horus Heresy Anthology

From the radiation-soaked wastes of Mars to the Space Wolves fleet, and from the heart of Imperium Secundus to the depths of Prospero, this collection of Horus Heresy tales brings together a host of tales from across the war-ravaged Imperium.

It’s an unmissable collection bringing eight stories – including the epic novellas ‘Wolf King’ and ‘Cybernetica’ into the numbered series!

As the darkness of the war slowly consumes the galaxy, those who still serve the Throne are faced with a struggle for their survival and the continued existence of everything they hold dear. With the threat of the Warmaster’s fleet looming ever closer to Terra, if will fall to such heroes to halt the tide, but the enemies arrayed against them are powerful and the burden of loyalty is great…

Now fighting as a Freeblade, Imperial Knight Luk Kar Chimaeros faces his past and a dreadful decision that will decide his future.

READ IT BECAUSE
The story continues as Andy Clark continues the saga of Imperial Knights in a tale of courage, honour and betrayal.

THE STORY
Since the fall of House Chimaeros to heresy, Luk Kar Chimaeros has renounced his heritage and his name to become the Knight of Ashes. For five arduous years, the Freeblade has pursued his treacherous step-mother across the stars alongside a band of fellow Exiles. Just as their hunt appears to be nearing its conclusion, a terrible destruction descends upon his home planet of Adrastapol. The Knight of Ashes must decide whether to continue his quest to exact justice and restore his honour, or aid the Noble Houses of Adrastapol and risk being branded a heretic evermore.

Written by Andy Clark
