Publisher Description
With the noble Emperor Sanguinius ruling from Macragge, Imperium Secundus stands as a lone beacon of hope even as the Warmaster’s forces continue to ravage the rest of the galaxy. Roboute Guilliman, still Master of Ultramar, has convinced his brother that Terra has fallen and that the mysterious Mount Pharos on Sotha now holds the key to mankind’s future. But the Night Lords, those cruel and pitiless sons of Konrad Curze, have been watching from the shadows, and make ready to launch their long-planned attack on the Pharos itself…
Read it because
Long-running plot threads tie together in a new full-length Horus Heresy novel. Roboute Guilliman's new Imperium faces its first test as the Night Lords, scattered after the events of Prince of Crows, attack in force. And of course, Curze is still around... the scene with him and Sanguinius facing one another is a Heresy fan's dream come true.

AMAZING
One word: AMAZING
Possibly the best Horus Heresy book
I hope this author gets more of the series - he captures the mix of action, adventure, darkness and the more philosophical and character focused elements that make the HH series stand out when done really well.
This is not just a battle report like some of the dull novels but a glimpse of deep time, death, honour, evil and heroism amongst both loyalists and traitors. The face off between Primarchs, whether as political struggle or vicious combat is as excellent as anything in any HH book.
There's emotion too - not endless technical detail and possibly an ending that rivals any GoT cliffhanger for storytelling genius.
I highly recommend this - it is a surprise and delight and will be a highlight of the series for me.
Brilliant read
Great novel by Guy, keeps the Heresy alive and kicking. The Night Lords were fascinating. A great read in the series.
