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…
For seven years the Blood Angels have warred against the Great Devourer on Skylos.
For seven years they have fought and bled and died.
Now, the war is almost over, and only a handful of the sons of Sanguinius remain.
As they prepare to make their last stand, thoughts turn to the Sanguinor, said to arrive and bring hope in moments of great peril.
But the Sanguinor is just a legend. It isn’t real… is it?
