Mercyofthedragon

Mercy of the Dragon

As the Emperor of Mankind comes to Nocturne in the guise of the Outlander, He tells Vulkan of his destiny in the stars as one of His Primarchs. It is Vulkan's destiny to lead a Space Marine Legion into the stars and conquer the galaxy in his father's name. But the Lord of Drakes, ever caring for the folk around him, is hesitant to leave his world unprotected and so the Emperor must convince him of the worthiness of His Crusade.
Abyssaledge

The Abyssal Edge

When an archivist uncovers an unthinkable truth, he comes to the attention of the First Captain of the Night Lords, the dreaded "Prince of Crows" himself. Terrified yet enrapt, Ulatal listens as Sevatar tells him a tale that cannot exist in any Imperial archive. It is a tale from the world of Zoah, of the moment when Konrad Curze and Magnus the Red almost went to war.
5/5

Sur le Fil de l'Abîme est la preuve qu'un grand auteur n'a pas besoin de cataclysmes pour captiver : ADB parvient ici à faire de presque rien une nouvelle inoubliable, portée par des personnages qui respirent, et une plume dont on ne se lasse pas.

Passing of angels

The Passing Of Angels

When a world resistant to the nascent Imperium of Man unleashes weapons of heinous and proscribed provenance, it falls to the Blood Angels to bring the planet to compliance. Forced to fight fire with fire, Sanguinius gathers the Legion's Destroyer Host and their deadliest weapons. As his sons wage war behind their death masks, able to leave the taint of their bloody deeds behind them, Sanguinius alone must bear the burden of the souls he has reaped.
2/5

Décevant de la part d'un auteur capable de mélanger habilement guerre et poésie, The Passing of Angels prouve qu'un beau plumage ne suffit pas à faire décoller une nouvelle.

The last council

The Last Council

As the Great Crusade came to a close, the power that had been vested in the Emperor and his War Council, made up of primarchs and generals, was transferred to civilian authorities – the great Council of Terra. Now, as the Warmaster and his armies approach the Throneworld, it is time for that council to be dissolved and the warriors to once again take command as the eve of battle looms. But no one gives up power easily, and even an assemblage of three primarchs may find trouble waiting…
5/5

Un nouvelle presque essentielle dans l’hérésie, elle touche au sujet des primarques disparus, nous montre les réflexions du Sigillite, nous tease son passé, montre la différence des priorités et des réalités des primarques avec le reste de l’humanité et cerise sous le gâteau : Horus se casse v...

Childofchaos

Child Of Chaos

Whisper the name Erebus, for it is a curse and a beseechment to the dark gods. It is perhaps true that evil does not start out as such. Some tragedy, some error of judgement… Not so with Erebus. His evil has ever been ingrained. On Colchis, his story begins, the arch-heretic who turned his face from the Emperor to embrace the pantheon of Chaos.
5/5

Child of Chaos n’absout pas Erebus. Elle fait pire : elle lui donne raison sur un point fondamental. Sans lui, l’Hérésie n’aurait peut-être jamais eu lieu. Et c’est précisément pour cela qu’on le maudit.

The Last Son of Prospero (couverture originale)

The Last Son of Prospero

Only the Sigillite can save Revuel Arvida's Body, and only his Primarch can save his soul
The Thousand Sons sorcerer Revuel Arvida guided his White Scars kinsmen through all the horrors of the ruinstorm, even though the psychic exertion almost killed him. Now on Terra, he clings to life by the merest thread, his body ravaged by the curse of his Legion — the insidious flesh-change. The primarch Jaghatai Khan demands that Arvida be saved, no matter the cost. But even if such a thing were possible, what would remain of his mind and soul?
The Painted Count (couverture originale)

The Painted Count

Following the disastrous invasion of Sotha and the dimming of the Pharos' light, Gendor Skraivok languishes on board the VIII Legion flagship Nightfall. Distrusted by his allies and despised by his rivals, he nonetheless means to claw back leadership of the Night Lords from the pretender Captain Shang, by fair means or foul. And, rather than a portent of doom, the daemonic blade that seems to have chosen him as its bearer may be the answer…
The Ember Wolves (couverture originale)

The Ember Wolves

On the hive world of Absalom, god-machines go to war: loyalist Titans under the banner of the Fabricator General of Terra clash against the forces of Horus Lupercal, Warmaster and arch-traitor. By the time the Emperor-class Titans of the Legio Castigatra arrive, the Legio Audax, also known as the Ember Wolves, have long been lying in wait for their prey. When a traitor Warhound pack spots the loyalist Titan Tantorus Magnificat striding through the ruins, they know they have found a target worthy of their battle-pack, and eagerly launch their attack. Though their hunt is successful, when the...
