Since the earliest days of the Great Crusade, Sanguinius - angelic primarch of the IXth Legion - was ever among the closest and most loyal of Horus' brothers. But the Blood Angels have long kept their true nature hidden from the rest of the Imperium, and when the Warmaster hints that the key to their salvation may lie in the ruins of a conquered world, the sons of Sanguinius race to claim it.

Now, as the revelation of their betrayal dawns and the traitors' hand is revealed, the Blood Angels must face all the warp-spawned armies of Chaos, as well their own personal daemons, upon the blasted plains of Signus Prime....

It was an amazingly compelled story! The treachery of Horus, the trap laid for the Blood Angels in a system full of demons. Wow! Epic story

My favorite HH book so far!

I'm glad I doubled back for this one. We were largely through most of the muck and about to start Siege of Terra. But then I was reading novel descriptions on the books I had skipped and saw that this novel was about the Blood Angels.

I'm, historically, not a huge fan of the Blood Angels but I would still recommend this one. Sanguinius is an upper tier Primarch and seeing the interplay between him and his sons is great.

Also, James Swallow gets kind of a bad rap for not being ADB or Abnett and I'm here to tell you that, at least this novel, is right there with the quality of those writers.

Ending up loving the Blood Boys

A wild, choas filled trip to madness and triumph. The angle and his boys are at their best here, I highly recommend it!

Amazing!

Probably one of the greatest slow burn horror stories of our time. Made even better by the narrator’s skill and dedication. It was my first Horus Heresy book but will certainly not be my last :)

Spooky and expertly read
