From Black Library comes The End and The Death Volume II by Dan Abnett. Many challenges await the Great Angel as he makes his way towards the inner sanctum of the Vengeful Spirit, not least a Warmaster hopped up on the energies of the Warp – and one of the greatest duels in the Horus Heresy canon is about to go down.
The Vengeful Spirit Map details the inner workings of the Vengeful Spirit – Horus’ personal flagship – and is a must-have for dedicated Horus Heresy collectors.
