Book 51: Slaves To Darkness

The Horus Heresy

Book 51: Slaves To Darkness

A Horus Heresy novel

As the traitor fleet closes on Terra, turmoil grips its heart. Horus lies wounded, and as the greatest battle of all time looms, it falls to Maloghurst the Twisted to hold the force together and save the Warmaster.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE
The time is nearly here… but first, the events of Wolfsbane have left Horus in a bad way, and now we get to take a look at the inner workings of the Traitor fleet as it threatens to fall apart.

THE STORY
After a long and gruelling conflict, the traitors at last close upon Terra. But time is dwindling for an attack. Both Guilliman and the Lion are returning with all haste, and their armies could turn the tide. The hosts of the Warmaster must unite, for only then can they attack the Throneworld itself. While Mortarion is sent on ahead as the fleet’s vanguard, it falls to Lorgar and Perturabo to marshal Fulgrim and Angron, both now elevated to daemonhood and perhaps beyond even the will of the Warmaster to command. But Horus lies wounded and as the greatest battle the galaxy has ever know looms, it is up to Maloghurst to hold his fractious Legion together and to wrench Horus himself from the edge of oblivion.
