Fulgrim – The Perfect Son (Paperback)
Step into the early days of the Great Crusade with Fulgrim: The Perfect Son, a compelling character study from the Primarchs series. This novel explores the complex psyche of the Phoenician, the lord of the Emperor's Children, as he strives to bring a defiant world to heel using a fraction of his Legion's strength. It is a story of pride, artistry, and the dangerous thin line between perfection and ruin.
The Story
Fulgrim—the Phoenician, the Illuminator—is a being of unparalleled grace and ambition. When he pledges to bring the world of Twenty-Eight-Four into the Imperial fold with only seven of his warriors, it is more than a military campaign; it is a demonstration of his Legion’s core philosophy: that true excellence can overcome any numerical disadvantage.
As the mission unfolds, the narrative peels back the layers of the III Legion's culture. You will witness the meticulous planning, the surgical strikes, and the growing hubris that would eventually lead the Phoenician down a much darker path. It is a portrait of a demigod at the height of his glory, unaware of the cracks beginning to form in his own perfection.
