Call of the Lion

Synopsis

The Terran and Calibanite commanders of the Dark Angels clash for the first time as the Great Crusade brings them to the world of Byzanthis. The Dark Angels Legion is couched in layers of mystery and secrecy, harkening back to the days of the knightly orders of Caliban that helped to raise their infant primarch. But Lion El’Jonson’s greatest strength often proves to be one of the most divisive issues amongst his sons – rarely can any two commanders agree upon one single course of action from the start. As they seek to bring the world of Byzanthis to compliance, Chapter Masters Astelan and Belath are among those with very different notions of what victory might require. The divisions in the Dark Angels are laid bare in this tale set before the Heresy ever began, as the commanders of the Legion differ on the best way to bring a world into compliance. Running time: 1 hour, 16 minutes Narrated by Peter Wickham Written by Gav Thorpe
