Ashes of the Imperium
The Warmaster Horus is dead. Terra lies in ruins, and the Emperor is silent. It is a new and uncertain dawn, and as the survivors pick through the ruins of the Imperial Palace, the remnants of Horus’ Grand Armada attempt to escape vengeance. Some believe this is an opportunity for peace, but wiser folk recognise that this war will never end, and all that remains to be seen is who rises to rule over the ruin left by the flames of the Horus Heresy.
Ashes of the Imperium by Chris Wraight is the first book to explore the Scouring, the aftermath of the devastating civil war that rocked the galaxy. It is available to pre-order next week in a premium edition that features a leather effect cover, with screen-printed artwork, a metal emblem featuring the logos of the Ultramarines, Word Bearers, Iron Warriors, and Imperial Fists, foil blocking details, silver page edges, and a black ribbon bookmark. Inside you’ll find a colour insert of the standard cover art, full-colour art of Rogal Dorn and Roboute Guilliman in a tarot style, character portraits, and four pieces of black and white art that accompany the story.
