About this listen

As one of the vaunted Crusader Host, Brother Crius stood as the representative of the X Legion upon the soil of Holy Terra, but when he learns of the death of his beloved primarch Ferrus Manus at the hands of the traitors, his stoic, mechanical grief imbues him with the strength and resolve to undertake a special mission on behalf of Rogal Dorn himself.

Striking out into the stars, he searches for any signs of his lost Iron Hands brethren, hoping to bring them back to Terra to aid in the final defence of the Palace. The question remains - just who has survived the slaughter on Isstvan V, and what yet remains of them?

One of my favourite short stories from the Horus Heresy, alongside its sequel. It really delves into the trauma the Iron Hands experienced and how it has affected them. The concept and lore explored are so interesting and creepy. I really wish it was referenced more in the wider 40k universe
