Book 49 in the Horus Heresy series, published 2018
Publisher: Games Workshop
The time has come. Leman Russ, primarch of the Space Wolves, withdraws his Legion from Terra and makes all haste for Horus’s position, to try and end the traitor once and for all.
The time has come for Leman Russ, primarch of the Space Wolves, to fulfil his vow and attempt to stop Warmaster Horus before he breaks through to the Segmentum Solar. In the face of opposition from three of his brother primarchs, Russ withdraws the Space Wolves legion from Terra and makes all haste for Horus’s position.
Reports from Malcador the Sigillite’s agents suggest that Horus is utterly changed, and infused with a diabolical power so great that no man can stand against him. A warrior of Fenris would never willingly abandon his oaths, but with Horus beyond the touch of mortal blades, the Lord of Winter and War may have doomed himself for the sake of honour…
The Russ of Wolfsbane is a more personable individual than other iterations, one who is still struggling with his identity. Russ is acknowledged as a son of two worlds, a being bestriding the clinical world of high-tech science and the rough superstitions of his upbringing. More than that, he is forced to accept that the old ways of Fenris have more worth than others credit them with.
