Era of Ruin

A fantastic anthology of short stories set during the Siege of Terra.

Horus is dead. His Heresy is over. The scars of mankind’s great schism will never fully heal. For those left behind, a new Era of Ruin is dawning, promising both new beginnings and fresh peril for an Imperium riven by trauma and war.

In Chris Wraight’s ‘Homebound’, Ilya Ravallion must choose between the decimated White Scars and living out what remains of her life in peace. And an embattled Ahzek Ahriman must race against time to learn what he can of the warp, before its gates close to him forever, in ‘Ex Libris’ by John French.

Featuring tales from Dan Abnett, Aaron Dembski-Bowden, Guy Haley and many more, this anthology follows mighty Custodians, scheming sorcerers, and the lowly footsoldiers of the Imperial Army, as all negotiate the devastating aftermath of mankind’s greatest reckoning.
