Words alone can no longer convey the horrors of the war that now grips the Imperium. In what should have been an age of enlightenment and glorious triumph, instead warriors on both sides reel from the twin agonies of betrayal and bloodshed. The hatred of a sworn foe, the ire of a primarch, or the unholy wrath of a daemon-lord - none but the mighty Space Marines can hope to weather such torments unscathed... ---------- IN THIS COLLECTION: Virtues of the Sons by Andy Smillie - Amit duels Khorne and Azkaellon faces Lucius as Sanguinius's chosen sons explore the twin aspects of their nature. Imperfect by Nick Kyme - A simple game of Regicide between Fulgrim and Ferrus Manus is far more than it seems...

From storied successors including the Crimson Fists and Flesh Tearers to lesser-known Chapters like the Emperor’s Spears and Consecrators, you’ll be spoilt for no-holds-barred Space Marines action. The Space Marine Legions of old are dead. In their place have risen thousands of Chapters, each unique, each carrying the legacy of their founders across the countless battlefields of the Imperium. The Flesh Tearers spill blood in a war of brutal attrition. The Emperor’s Spears keep a tireless watch, where their brothers have fallen. The Consecrators search the dark places for relics, artefacts of power from the noble past. The Crimson Fists vow, with bloodied hands, to become Dorn’s glorious vanguard once more.

It is by the might of these Space Marines that the growing darkness of the galaxy is held back. Discover these Chapters and more, new and old, within this anthology of short stories by some of Black Library’s most premier authors.
