A Primarchs Anthology

Explore the histories and motivations of the primarchs across six short stories that will take you to the depths of the Cthonian Utterdark, the wilds of Fenris in winter, and even to the holy soil of Terra itself.

Get new insights into several of the primarchs in tales set across the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy.

Enjoyable background to a few of the primarchs. The narrator was incredible. Tonality, different voices and pure energy was infectious. I hope more WH books are hosted by Chris Tester.
