A Warhammer 40,000 Novel

For too long, the Emperor’s Children have been denied their birthright. Once a glorious Legion, they have splintered into disparate warbands, condemned to pillage world after world in a ceaseless pursuit of ambition and excess. But now, their time has come.

WHY YOU SHOULD READ IT
Fulgrim has a simple mission for his sons—but nothing is ever simple for the Emperor’s Children. Experience the fractured nature of the Legion, filled with arrogance, internal rivalries, and clashing agendas, as they struggle to carry out their Primarch’s will.

THE STORY
Lord Fulgrim—the ascended Primarch of the III Legion, the Perfect Son, the Emperor-in-Waiting—sets his warriors a bold challenge: conquer the Imperial world of Crucible and bring him the head of the Black Templar defending it.

But the Primarch’s ambitions extend far beyond a single planet, and what should have been a swift, bloody strike turns into a grinding, devastating siege. With the outcome uncertain, a world consumed by fire, and the Legion’s own rivalries erupting amidst the fighting, the would-be champions must face a bitter truth: what will they sacrifice for victory and Fulgrim’s favour, and what will remain of them once the smoke clears?
