Synopsis

Get new insights into several of the primarchs in tales set across the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy. A weak Cthonian boy forges a bloody destiny among the stars. Tribal warriors hunt a beast in the Fenrisian snows. Prosperine sorcerers seek hidden secrets. The Emperor's Praetorian shows his ruthless side. Alpharius submits to questioning over a brutal campaign, and Mortarion returns to Terra for the first time since his ascension to daemonhood. Each of these six tales provides you with a new look at one of the primarchs, the demigod sons of the Emperor. Once brothers-in-arms, these legendary heroes fell into war and strife, loyalist and traitor. But each remains a mighty lord of warriors and leader of men, and each has tales to tell… CONTENTS Lupus Daemonis by Graham McNeill Skjalds by Nick Kyme The Sixth Cult of the Denied by David Guymer The Will of the Legion by Andy Clark Council of Truth by Mike Brooks Terminus by Chris Wraight
