The Lion: Son of the Forest Retail Price: $27
After ten thousand years of dreaming, locked in stasis at the heart of his shattered home world, Lion El’Jonson wakes to the nightmare of Imperium Nihilus.
In this midnight age, the dying embers of humanity are threatened on all sides by the hungry darkness. Alone, even the Lion has no hope of prevailing against such evil – but there are those who would aid him in his quest. Hunted to the edge of endurance, many among his Fallen knights have long-awaited the day their liege would return to redeem them. The Lord of Shadowed Paths must gather these lost loyalists to his side once more, and stride forth to vanquish a traitorous son and the twisted Chaos warband that calls him master.
Faced with these strange times, the Lion can be certain of nothing and no-one, except for himself. But in a galaxy without the Emperor, without the Imperium, without his Legion, and without Caliban… who is he?
Written by Mike Brooks
Alongside The Lion’s return, of course, there’s some lore to go with it! So read up on it all in his dedicated book.

Legends of the Dark Angels Retail Price: $21
Ancient are the stories of the Dark Angels. The warriors of this clandestine Chapter hold to secrets as readily as they do their swords, the shame of ages past following them into the Dark Millenium.
The ranks of the Unforgiven are replete with heroes. Legends tell of Supreme Grand Master Azrael, Keeper of the Truth and bearer of the Lion Helm, Ezekiel, Chief Librarian and bearer of the Book of Salvation, and Balthasar, heroic sergeant of the Fifth Company, to name but a few.
In war zones across the length and breadth of the galaxy, the Dark Angels fight for the Emperor, for atonement, and for the greater glory of the Imperium.
