The Horus Heresy: Novella Collection 5

A Horus Heresy Collection

The Horus Heresy is a civil war on a scale the likes of which the galaxy has never seen before. After the Great Crusade united the disparate worlds of humanity, the very warriors who made it possible turned on each other and tore it apart. This war was not only fought on a galactic scale – it was contested a million times over in brutal battles between former brothers and allies.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

Each Legion fought its own war during the Horus Heresy, and no two are alike. This collection focuses on the primarchs, cultures, and philosophies of the Raven Guard, Ultramarines, Word Bearers, Shattered Legions, and Alpha Legion – and gives you a view into what makes each Legion unique.

THE STORY

Ravenlord follows Corax and the remnants of his once mighty Legion as they wage an entirely different kind of war – liberating worlds oppressed by traitor forces, they gather more and more followers to their banner, disrupting the Warmaster's influence wherever they can. After an unexpected reunion with a fellow survivor of Isstvan V, the Raven Guard learn of the prison colony of Carandiru and soon realise that they must face the ghosts of their past on Deliverance yet again if they are to prevail.

The Shadow Crusade spreads across Ultramar, with the Word Bearers 34th Company falling upon the isolated world of Percepton Primus. The Purge sees embittered commander Sor Talgron beginning to question his part in Lorgar's grander scheme – for one who stood beside primarchs and high lords in the grand halls of the Imperial Palace, what glory can there now be in punishing Guilliman's upstart sons? But the price of doubt is known all too well, and if the Word Bearers are ever to return to Terra in triumph, they must purge the last remnants of such unbelief from the face of the galaxy…

Since the near-destruction of the Iron Hands, Raven Guard, and Salamanders on Isstvan V, scattered warbands from these 'Shattered Legions' have waged a guerrilla war on Horus' forces across the galaxy. The Seventh Serpent joins the crew of the Sisypheum as they are drawn into a covert assault on a hidden Alpha Legion outpost – an assault orchestrated by none other than the infamous warleader Shadrak Meduson himself. But what does Meduson really hope to make from such a bold move against the sons of Alpharius, arguably the undisputed masters of deception?
