Anthology in the Space Marine Battles series, published 2016
Publisher: Black Library
The Space Marines of the Black Templars are valiant warrior-knights who fall upon their foes in a storm of bolts and blades.
For ten millennia, the Black Templars have continued the Great Crusade, remaining true to the Emperor’s dream of a galaxy free of the alien, the traitor and the mutant. One of the few Chapters to venerate the Emperor as a god, they strive always to follow His example and secure His Imperium for all mankind. This anthology showcases seven tales of the sons of Sigismund, including an exploration of High Marshal Helbrecht’s first crusade, and three stories from the Third War for Armageddon.
They are the pious champions of the Emperor and the fanatical devotion of their battle-brothers has driven them to deliver righteous retribution against every traitor, alien and daemonic abomination to have been foolish enough to face them.
This book gathers together seven stories about this most zealous of Space Marine Chapters, telling the tales of many mighty heroes of the Black Templars and their famous victories against a multitude of enemies. It includes the short stories Circle of Honour, The Black Pilgrims, Helbrecht: The Crusader, The Uncanny Crusade, The Glorious Tomb, Only Blood and Season of Shadows.
