Explore the darker legacy of the Blood Angels with this Horus Heresy Character Series novel by Guy Haley, following Raldoron, First Captain of the Blood Angels Legion, as he faces a trial that tests both his command and the fragile nobility of the IX Legion.
Known across the Imperium as one of the greatest swordsmen among the Space Marine Legions, Raldoron is calm, disciplined, and utterly controlled. Beneath that composure, however, lies the violent legacy of the Blood Angels and the terrible history of the Legion before Sanguinius transformed it into something greater.
As Sanguinius leads the Imperial Reprisal Fleet toward the Garmon Cluster to slow Horus’ advance on Terra, Raldoron is forced to command newly recruited inductii drawn from the cluster’s war zones. These fresh warriors may represent the future of the Blood Angels, but they have yet to master the terrible hunger known as the Red Thirst.
If Raldoron cannot teach them restraint, the Legion risks slipping back toward the savage traditions of the Revenant Legion, revealing horrors the Blood Angels have fought hard to leave behind.
Perfect for fans of the Blood Angels, Raldoron, Sanguinius, the Red Thirst, and the Horus Heresy, this novel offers a deeper look at the IX Legion’s internal struggle while adding context to its efforts to prepare for the coming defence of Terra.
