The sweeping narrative of the Horus Heresy has always been part of the appeal, and with the new edition of the game on the way, Black Library is bringing out some rollicking fiction.
If you’re new to the Age of Darkness, the sheer number of books in the Horus Heresy series can seem quite daunting – and the upcoming Lupercal’s War is a great place to start. This anthology contains 21 stories from some of the most prominent authors in the series, including Dan Abnett, Graham McNeil, and John French.
Each Legion that fought in the Horus Heresy has at least one story in the book, and there’s even one featuring the Emperor himself. There are also suggestions for your next book, so you can learn even more about your favourite Legion.*
While Lupercal’s War comprises existing short stories, Cthonia’s Reckoning is an anthology of brand-new lore. As Horus is off trying to capture Terra, you’ll discover what is happening on his homeworld of Cthonia.
In stories by Gav Thorpe, John French, and other top authors, a war of unyielding spite between the Imperial Fists and Sons of Horus plays out across battles in the void, and deep in the endless warrens under the planet’s surface.
Finally, we’re delighted to be able to share the cover for the next book in the Horus Heresy: Primarchs series. Gav Thorpe’s Rogal Dorn: The Emperor’s Crusader sees the Primarch of the Imperial Fists tasked with expanding the Great Crusade by his immortal father.
