Horus Rising (Hardback)

Synopsis

The Emperor has departed the front lines, leaving the Great Crusade in the capable hands of his favored son, Horus Lupercal. Newly appointed as Warmaster, Horus leads the Legiones Astartes into the final compliance of the galaxy. But even as worlds fall to the might of the Space Marines, whispers of dissent and ancient shadows begin to stir within the shadows of the expanding Imperium.

Horus Rising explores the bonds of the Mournival, the tactical brilliance of the Primarchs, and the philosophical foundations of a secular empire on the brink of a supernatural awakening. It is a story of heroism, hubris, and the fragile peace of an age that was never meant to last.
