Book 12 in the Beast Arises series, published 2016
Publisher: Games Workshop
The war is over and mankind is saved. The empire triumphed against all expectations. The orcs have been defeated and the Great Beast is no more. All over the galaxy, human beings are celebrating their salvation and are looking forward to the return of peace. But when war ends, politics takes over, and one man realises that the High Lords who nearly doomed the entire Imperium must be culled. It is time for the Beheading to begin…
Across the length and breadth of the galaxy, humankind celebrates its salvation, and relishes the prospect of a return to peace. But the war against the orks has riven the political bedrock of the Imperium, exposing its rotten core. One man, one powerful man, decides he has the solution, and launches a campaign of destruction so terrible that thousands of years later his actions will still be viewed with horror. Meanwhile, the real enemy lies in wait in the dark between the stars: an immortal evil that only seeks to devour the souls of all people in the galaxy.
Throughout the series, the political machinations have been as fascinating and compelling as the all-out action – and now it’s time for that to take centre stage as assassination and plotting takes over from brutal combat.
