During the Big Summer Preview back in July, we unveiled the next epic narrative series from the darkness after the Siege of Terra – The Scouring, which follows the nascent Imperium as it recovers from the Horus Heresy and lays the foundations for its grim and terrible future.
The first entry in this groundbreaking saga, Ashes of the Imperium, is penned by Black Library veteran Chris Wraight. With the book itself coming up for pre-order this Saturday* we caught up with Chris to talk all about it.
The Scouring is set to be an epic series of novels following three key perspectives, as it examines the fate of the survivors of the Horus Heresy: the Loyalists, the Traitors, and the rest of humanity. Nothing is as it seems in this desolate new world, and even Primarchs are going missing. That’s bad news, even if you’re on the winning side.
Expect grand battles, bloody revenge, and political intrigue as the series unfolds across the early years of the 31st Millennium. Will we discover what really happened within the Iron Cage, or where certain carefree outriders disappeared to? Who knows – but if you pre-order this weekend, you’ll be taking the first step towards finding out.
* Or Friday if you’re looking for the digital eBook or audiobook versions.
