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…
In this epic tale of brotherhood and darkness, the Blood Angels face strife from within when Brother Arkio claims to be a reincarnation of Sanguinius, the Blood Angels’ spiritual father.
His message is clear: follow me or die. With no other choice, his brother Rafen kneels before this prophet of the Blood and swears an oath of devotion.
But in his heart, Rafen knows that Arkio cannot be allowed to lead the Chapter into darkness.
A reckoning is coming, one that they will not both survive.
A devastating civil war ensues, and as the ashes settle, the Blood Angels face a further dire crisis and must call together their Successor Chapters or face extinction.
But the sons of Sanguinius have many enemies, and this audacious scheme to rebuild their ranks comes under threat by the machinations of the arch-traitor Fabius Bile.
