Summary
Amidst the galaxy-wide war of the Great Crusade, the Emperor castigates the Word Bearers for their worship.
Distraught at this judgement, Lorgar and his Legion seek another path while devastating world after world, venting their fury and fervour on the battlefield. Their search for a new purpose leads them to the edge of the material universe, where they meet ancient forces far more powerful than they could have imagined.
Having set out to illuminate the Imperium, the corruption of Chaos takes hold, and their path to damnation begins. Unbeknownst to the Word Bearers, their quest for truth contains the very roots of heresy.

My first real experience of the Horus Herecy!
I found myself thoroughly invested in the characters, who by their very nature have huge shades of grey dictated by their faith, wether warranted or not. I've had to take a star off due to a "flash forward" which at one point made me think that tracks were missing until things slotted back into place. My only regret is that I should've really started with "Horus Rising" but the writer placed enough word building and background detail here for me to learn from it quickly.

a story narrated by a man who says words that form a story about things

A great addition to the Horus Heresy
a solid return to form for the series after the very disappointing Thousand Sons.
Great narration and an interesting well written cast of characters make this a great listen.
Adds great detail to the HH series.

Masterpiece
Honestly such a thrill ride and joy to read/listen to characters are amazing and the ties to earlier books are such cool moments. Could not recommend enough!

Genuinely Fantastic
Probably my favourite book so far in the series! It gives such an air of grace, but becomes so savage and deep at just the right times!

#BlameLorgar
If the purpose of this book was to cement my hatred for Lorgar and make me believe the Word Bearers got what they deserved in the Scouring, it succeeded.
Have to take away a point for writing Guilliman and the Emperor like idiots though.

One of the best
By far one of the best of series. Stands up there with the beginning 5 books. Fantastic voice actor and a good change to get the story back on track

Sublime
A truly awesome story and enlightening for all who wants to know more about the word bearers legion. Couldn’t stop listening to this enlightening and wonderful book and really made me fall in love with the word bearers legion. The narrator was a maverick of his work. Would recommend to anyone who is a fan of both 30K and 40K lore.
