Description

The Lion. Son of the Emperor, brother of demigods and Primarch of the Dark Angels. Awakened. Returned. And yet... lost.

READ IT BECAUSE
Witness the Emperor’s First Son make his dramatic return to the 41st Millennium! Much has changed since he last walked among the stars, but not Lion El’Jonson’s drive to protect humanity from the threats that assail it from all sides.

THE STORY
After ten thousand years of dreaming, locked in stasis at the heart of his shattered home world, Lion El'Jonson wakes to the nightmare of Imperium Nihilus. 

In this midnight age, the dying embers of humanity are threatened on all sides by the hungry darkness. Alone, even the Lion has no hope of prevailing against such evil – but there are those who would aid him in his quest. Hunted to the edge of endurance, many among his Fallen knights have long-awaited the day their liege would return to redeem them. The Lord of Shadowed Paths must gather these lost loyalists to his side once more, and stride forth to vanquish a traitorous son and the twisted Chaos warband that calls him master.

Faced with these strange times, the Lion can be certain of nothing and no-one, except for himself. But in a galaxy without the Emperor, without the Imperium, without his Legion, and without Caliban… who is he?

  • Excellent excellent new lore added

    Mike Brooks joins the ranks of Chris Wraight, John French, Dan Abnett. He adds a lot of the Lion’s insight and thoughts to the past and current setting. That is way more interesting than battle scenes- although the action in this book is superb.

    The story of how the father of the Dark Angels comes back into the fold is smooth, although it lacks in truly defining moments, it makes up with allowing us to witness the change in character from the brash stern and solemn Lion we used to read about some years ago.
