Horus Rising

by Dan Abnett · The Horus Heresy series

At humanity's zenith, the Emperor entrusts the Imperium to his most beloved son, Warmaster Horus, as the Great Crusade reaches its triumphant conclusion. But seeds of corruption take root in this moment of glory, setting in motion the galaxy's greatest betrayal. Dan Abnett launches the epic saga of how heroes became traitors and the Imperium's golden age collapsed into eternal war.
