A Horus Heresy Novel
Censured at the Council of Nikea for his flagrant use of sorcery, Magnus the Red and his Legion retreat to their homeworld to continue their use of the arcane arts in secret.
READ IT BECAUSE
One of the most tragic tales of the entire Horus Heresy unfolds as the Thousand Sons are brought low by their relentless quest for knowledge. Magnus is sure that he knows better than the Emperor – but isn't that what caused Horus to fall as well?
THE STORY
Censured at the Council of Nikea for his flagrant use of sorcery, Magnus the Red and his Thousand Sons Legion retreat to their homeworld of Prospero to continue their use of the arcane arts in secret. When the ill-fated primarch foresees the treachery of Warmaster Horus and warns the Emperor with the very powers he was forbidden to use, the Master of Mankind dispatches fellow primarch Leman Russ to attack Prospero itself. But Magnus has seen more than the betrayal of Horus – and the witnessed revelations will change the fate of his fallen Legion, and its primarch, forever.
Written by Graham McNeill.
Customer Reviews
Magnus did something wrong...
Great book. Without spoilers I would say that this was definitely a tale of pride and arrogance, but also sorrow and redemption. I understand now why many people say the famous words “Magnus did nothing wrong”, but obviously they didn’t read the book, or they didn’t fully understand how Magnus ended up there, whatever his intentions originally were.
A reflection of the universe
An outstanding tale which perfectly captures the sin of pride within the Astartes and possibly the Emperor himself.
A painful lesson of manipulation and betrayal that connects two of the most misunderstood primarchs, the perfect foil for Prospero Burns.
A hauntingly tragic story of good intentions leading to tragedy, I loved it and hated it at the same time.
Fantastic work!
