After many gruelling battles, the Siege of Terra is over, and with it, the Horus Heresy is concluded. The Emperor is victorious, the Warmaster vanquished, but at what cost to the Imperium? While the climactic battle may be over, the story has not finished, and the next Siege of Terra book from Black Library is Era of Ruin, an anthology featuring stories set both during and after the greatest internal conflict the Imperium has ever known.
This new book collects together eight new stories from the writers of the Siege of Terra series, following characters through this apocalyptic reckoning. The book contains an introduction by Black Library, and the stories Angels of Another Age by John French, Fulgurite by Nick Kyme, Fragments (All We Have Left) by Dan Abnett, Ex Libris by John French, System Purge by Gav Thorpe, After the Dawn, the Darkness by Guy Haley, Homebound by Chris Wraight and The Carrion Lord of the Imperium by Aaron Dembski-Bowden.
Of particular note is the cover, featuring brand new art of the Eternity Gate flanked by two Warhound Titans and looking as improbably massive as always– here’s a full spread for you to drink in.*
Era of Ruin will also be released as a special edition featuring a leather-effect cover with a metal symbol to match previous Siege of Terra novels, a burgundy ribbon bookmark, and interior art of the cover and character busts.
Era of Ruin will be out later in the year. There’s plenty more to come from Black Library this year too, just check out the two new books and accompanying miniatures we revealed at LVO.
* Imagine how big the catflap would need to be on a door of that size to let a Titan through.
