Death of a Silversmith (The Horus Heresy Short Story)

by Graham McNeill · The Horus Heresy series

A vignette from the Horus Heresy focusing on a humble remembrancer, an artisan caught in the machinery of war and betrayal. As the Imperium fractures, even the smallest lives are consumed by the galaxy's descent into chaos. McNeill finds intimacy and tragedy amid the epic scale.
