The Indomitus Crusade burns across the stars, while new threats emerge to challenge the Imperium’s resurgence.
As the Kingdom of Iron is secured and the Primarch Reborn’s thoughts turn to future salients, the Arch-enemy strikes back against the Indomitus Crusade’s forces. The shrine worlds of the Golden Chain are all but broken, and only Velua remains defiant. Canoness Irinya of the Order of Our Martyred Lady and Champion Gaheris of the Black Templars hold the line, fighting against the plague-ridden cultists reducing the planet to anarchy.
While the war rages on and the true enemy makes itself known, the fate of Velua and the wider crusade may rest upon the shoulders of another of the Imperial Regent’s agents: the disgraced Rogue Trader Katla Helvintr. Heroes rise and worlds fall, and only the light of faith will guide the warriors of the Imperium to their destiny.
Written by Marc Collins.

Proud Lamertine. Fierce Helvintr. Cunning Radrexxus.
Since the halcyon days of the Great Crusade, these noble rogue trader dynasties have plied the void in the Emperor’s name, answering to whomsoever sits as the king of the Davamir Compact. There has been profit and adventure and abundance in these times… Yet now the galaxy is changed, divided by the birth of the Great Rift. As plans are drawn up for the most immense crusade imaginable, the Emperor’s reborn son demands that the Compact seek a way across the Rift.
When tragedy and betrayal threaten all their endeavours, it is the Lamertine heir, Erastus, who must rise to the fore – to guide the disparate forces of the Davamir Compact in service to their sacred mission, to avenge the wounds done to them by hidden hands, and to reveal the darkest secrets threatening the Imperium’s dreams of unity…
Written by Marc Collins.
Rogue Traders are some of the most unique individuals in the Imperium, making this a great option for those interested.
The King of the Spoil Retail Price: $17.99

Within the vast sprawl of Varangantua lies the Spoil. It is a broken crossroads, forsaken by the Lex, abandoned by the city’s uncaring masters, where the only choice is a slow death in the manufactories, or a quick one on the street. And it is in turmoil.
Andreti Sorokin, the gangster king whose vicious rule brought order to the Spoil, is dead, slain in the most brutal fashion. Melita Voronova, skilled info-broker and reluctant agent of the imperious Valtteri cartel, is tasked with uncovering the mystery of who killed Sorokin, and preventing his fragile alliance of thugs and narco-pushers from collapsing into chaos. As street-blades clash and gang leaders turn against one another, Melita’s instincts tell her there is a larger conspiracy at work. Someone has created this crisis not merely to disrupt the Spoil, but to overturn the foundations of Varangantua itself.
Written by Jonathan D Beer.

Baal is besieged. The tendrils of Hive Fleet Leviathan have reached the home system for the Sons of Sanguinius, and Commander Dante, calling upon the Ninth Legion’s successor Chapters, is the only thing stopping the Great Devourer from consuming the Blood Angels’ home world. But in order to overcome the insidious xenos, Dante and his Blood Angels must also face an enemy within – The Flaw, a curse in their veins that they must counter if they are to reach their former glory.
Can Dante defend Imperium Nihilus from enemies far greater than the Tyranid swarms that once threatened their home world? Or are the sons of Sanguinius doomed to succumb to the darkness in their blood?
CONTAINS:
Three novels:
– Dante
– The Devastation of Baal
– Darkness in The Blood
Two short stories:
– Astorath: Angel of Mercy
– Redeemer
Written by Guy Haley.
As a fan-favorite faction and character, this book spotlighting Dante and Blood Angels is sure to be a slam dunk!
