Who is this for?
The Triumphant Return of the Primarch of the Dark Angels
The Lion — son of the Emperor, brother to living demigods, and Primarch of the Dark Angels — has awakened at last. After ten thousand years trapped in stasis within the ruins of his shattered home, he walks the galaxy once more. Yet the Imperium he returns to is scarred, divided, and engulfed by nightmare war.
Although so much has changed, Lion El’Jonson remains relentless in purpose. He will defend humanity against the horrors pressing in from every direction — even when that means confronting ancient grudges, hidden truths, and the shadows that still haunt his own Legion.
The Lion: Son of the Forest is a sweeping tale of loyalty, isolation, and redemption, charting the path of a Primarch who must find his place in a galaxy that has almost forgotten him — and desperately needs him.

Details
Warhammer 40,000 is an age of darkness where heroes are rare and hope is fragile. Into this chaos steps Lion El’Jonson, reborn into a galaxy torn apart by the Great Rift and beset by enemies on every front. As he awakens, he discovers a realm that no longer resembles the empire he once fought to build — and must decide how best to lead in a time when trust is scarce and betrayal lurks everywhere.
Following the Lion as he gathers unlikely allies and confronts threats both mortal and monstrous, this novel explores what it means to be a Primarch in an age far beyond his time. His journey through the shadows of the Imperium reveals forgotten histories, painful truths, and the enduring weight of responsibility.
If you want to witness one of the most legendary figures in Warhammer 40,000 return to the stage — and see how he shapes the future of humanity — this is the book to start with.
