Publisher's summary

Since the earliest days of the Great Crusade, Sanguinius - angelic primarch of the IXth Legion - was ever among the closest and most loyal of Horus' brothers. But the Blood Angels have long kept their true nature hidden from the rest of the Imperium, and when the Warmaster hints that the key to their salvation may lie in the ruins of a conquered world, the sons of Sanguinius race to claim it.

Now, as the revelation of their betrayal dawns and the traitors' hand is revealed, the Blood Angels must face all the warp-spawned armies of Chaos, as well their own personal daemons, upon the blasted plains of Signus Prime....

For Sanguinius!

The Emperor protects, and this book entertains. I would highly recommend this book to any 40k fan, especially fans of the Blood Angels.

My favorite HH book so far!

It was an amazingly compelled story! The treachery of Horus, the trap laid for the Blood Angels in a system full of demons. Wow! Epic story

Good book

I had to listen to it all the way through the end for the story to really come together. Overall it was a decent read but I still am unsure about how I feel about the blood Angels, this gave me a better stance on how I feel about them overall it is still a little off.

A dark masterful setting

Great book. It was interesting to know what triggered the Angels weakness but also sad by far.Sangrinious is a favorite.

The best parts of the story are in the epilogue.

This one just kind of felt drawn out. A bunch of unlikable characters and the only good parts were in the epilogue.
