The First Heretic

by Aaron Dembski-Bowden · The Horus Heresy series

When the Emperor publicly humiliates the Word Bearers for their zealous worship, Primarch Lorgar embarks on a pilgrimage into the eye of damnation itself. What he discovers in the warp will forever corrupt his Legion and set in motion the galaxy-shattering betrayal of the Horus Heresy. A tale of faith twisted into heresy, where the most devout become the most damned.
