For the Emperor and Sanguinius!
In the war-torn world of the 41st Millennium the forces of the Imperium are feared throughout the galaxy, and none more so than the Adeptus Astartes – the Space Marines, gene-engineered super-soldiers, warrior-monks of the Emperor who live only to fulfill his commands. Among the disparate chapters of the Astartes are one cadre of Marines whose noble legacy hides a dark and bloodthirsty secret – a Red Thirst that conjures a name from ancient Terran legend, a name not spoken since the dark times – vampire. These are the Blood Angels, the Sons of Sanguinius, elegant and deadly, an unstoppable force for the God-Emperor’s ceaseless holy wars…
Fabius Bile plots to bring the Blood Angels low using their most precious artefact – the blood of the primarch Sanguinius himself.
The Blood Angels stand apart from the other Chapters of the Adeptus Astartes, descending from the skies on wings of flame.
While they are renowned for their ten-thousand-year history of glorious battle and honourable deeds, these secretive Space Marines seek to hide the dark flaws at the core of their being – the Red Thirst and the Black Rage – from the rest of the Imperium.
Do they fight any longer for the protection of mankind, or merely for their own salvation?
