Horus Rising — The beginning of the Horus Heresy
For millennia, humanity has conquered the stars under the guidance of the Emperor of Mankind. Now, with His grand vision seemingly achieved, the Emperor withdraws to Terra and entrusts command of the Great Crusade to His favoured son — the legendary Warmaster Horus. Admired by countless warriors and revered across the Imperium, Horus stands as humanity’s greatest champion.
Yet even as the Legions march triumphantly from world to world, subtle tensions and strange omens begin to appear. The choices made in these early days will echo across the galaxy — and the seeds of doubt have already taken root.
