Penned by several authors, the series takes place during the, a fictional galaxy-spanning civil war occurring 10,000 years prior to the of Warhammer 40,000. The war is described as a major contributing factor to the game's environment.The books are published in by the, a Games Workshop division, with the first title released in April 2006; as of November 2019 the series consists of 56, with more in the pipeline.The series has developed into a distinct and successful product line for the Black Library; titles in lists, and overall the work has received. It is an established, definitive component of Games Workshop's Horus Heresy, and authoritative source material for the entire Warhammer 40,000 and its continuing development. Contents.Overview The is a dark, concerning an intergalactic civil war within the nascent, and which constitutes a cornerstone event of the Warhammer 40,000 universe.
The Horus Heresy is presented as a major chapter of conflict in the Warhammer 40,000 lore: it is caused by a Chaos plot to foil the Imperium's leader and founder, the mysterious Emperor of Man, by fomenting rebellion and internecine warfare in the expanding Imperium of Man. The story focuses on the Emperor's 20 genetically engineered lieutenants, the Primarchs, and the legions of genetically-enhanced superhuman soldiers that they lead, the, which find themselves divided into loyalist and traitor factions as they struggle for religious hegemony.The was originally created in 1987 by, parent company of series publisher, as the for the tabletop and in 2006 began publishing The Horus Heresy series. The series consists of full-length novels, and novel-length of or, written. The series includes new characters as well as establishing the background of previously-established Warhammer 40,000 characters who play an important role in the post-Heresy fictional universe.The first three novels in The Horus Heresy are an. This trilogy presents some of the background and causes of the Heresy, and describes the start of the conflict.
The 's focus is on, the principal, and covers about two years in the overall Heresy timeline; most of this period elapses before the rebellion begins. Following the trilogy, the narrative is not strictly sequential and is often presented in from book to book. Apart from the initial trilogy, the stories often concern events that happen earlier or later than their position in the series would suggest, or may include time periods already covered in other series titles.The majority of stories in The Horus Heresy are set around the start of the fictional universe's 31st millennium, in contrast to most Warhammer 40,000 material, which takes place in the 41st millennium. The stories in The Horus Heresy routinely cover the conflict's background, with some going back centuries before the war (and the 31st millennium) begins.
In narrower scope, the entire conflict (including the Heresy proper and its proximate formative period), is depicted as having lasted less than a decade. With few exceptions, the sequence and dating of Heresy events is implied rather than stated in The Horus Heresy stories.Titles The following lists pertain to regular or general-availability.

See also:Early in the 31st millennium, the is in the throes of the Great Crusade. Originating from Terra , it is an interstellar that claims the galaxy as the rightful domain of Humankind, and aims to reunite the multitude of scattered human remaining from earlier space exploration under the domain of an 'Imperium of Man'. Organised in numerous expeditions, the Crusade fields huge fleets and vast armies; at its forefront, led by the Primarchs, are Legions of – numbering in the millions. Over the course of two Terran centuries, the Crusade has reached more than 50,000 away from its original staging point in the Sol System, has assimilated millions of worlds into the Imperium, and has given Humankind a dominant position among the galaxy's species. Its grand mastermind is the 'Emperor of Mankind', a mysterious of unknown origin.The Emperor, founder and head of the Imperium, is a being of towering, prowess, conviction, and ability.
He has declared an, the 'Imperial Truth', which promotes science, and human primacy. Unknown to the common citizenry, he is also the most powerful human (or humanlike) psychic, referred to as, and is overall one of the most formidable psychics in the galaxy. Officially, the Imperium denies the existence of psychic phenomena, including its manifestations as and, and punishes its belief as ignorant and superstitious; yet the Imperium is also dependent on psychic activity in order to achieve faster-than-light travel between its scattered dominions. The Emperor knows that psychic phenomena originate in The Warp, a reflecting the events of the material world at its most emotional. Within the Warp exist Daemons, sentient vortices of concentrated feeling that are chiefly malignant. The Daemons are themselves in service to the Chaos Gods, also known as the Ruinous Powers, titanic collectives of dark will whose rulership over the parallel dimension is supreme. These malign forever seek to breach the material universe and subject all life within it to foul and debased whims.
Awareness and perception of the Gods and their Daemons serves as the basis of numerous faiths and religions in the setting, both human and in origin. Knowing followers of the Chaos Gods, though rare, refer to their faith as the Primordial Truth, or the Primordial Annihilator.Humankind's continuing and evolution includes the gradual development of widespread Warp-related psychic abilities that will make the species far more susceptible to Chaotic influence; united under the Imperium of Man, the Emperor seeks to protect all of mankind by using faith in the Imperial Truth as a shield. The powers of Chaos desire change and conflict by nature, and seek to destabilise and subvert the Imperium's order over the galaxy from within. Book 1 to Book 10 1. Horus Rising: The seeds of heresy are sownHorus Rising, the series opener, starts in the early years of the 31st millennium, during the 203rd year of the Great Crusade. It describes the rise to power of Horus Lupercal, Primarch of the 'Luna Wolves' Legion of Space Marines, and the most versatile and favoured 'son' of the Emperor. The Emperor has recently appointed him Warmaster, overall commander of Imperial military forces, while also leaving him in charge of the rest of the Crusade; the Emperor meanwhile returns to Terra, where in relative isolation he undertakes a secret project to which not even Horus is privy.
The focus and perspective of the novel centres on a Space Marine Captain, Garviel Loken, leader of the Luna Wolves' 10th Company. He becomes a member of the Mournival, an informal advisory body to Horus, and participates in Crusade campaigns against anti-Imperial human populations and aliens, referred to in the series as 'xenos'. The story also hints at tensions in the nascent Imperium, exacerbated by the Emperor's absence and contentious actions and inactions – these are common themes in following books.2.
False Gods: The heresy takes rootFalse Gods picks up a few weeks after the conclusion of Horus Rising in the series timeline, and tells the story of Horus' fall. In a complicated conspiracy implemented by followers of Chaos, Horus is mortally wounded during a Crusade mission by a Chaos-tainted xenos weapon. In a desperate action by his lieutenants to ensure his survival – one taken in strict contradiction to – Horus is brought to a local with a reputation for healing. The temple is the seat of a powerful Chaos cult, and both Horus' wound and its supposed healing makes him susceptible to Chaos' influence. He ultimately turns against his 'father', the Emperor, and sets in motion the entire Heresy.
This novel further highlights the institutional and personal tensions that accompany the Imperium's maturity into the preeminent power of the galaxy; they include rifts among the Primarchs, as well as both between and within their Space Marine Legions. Conflicts and characters flaws are repeatedly and effectively manipulated by Chaos in pursuit of their agenda throughout the series. A parallel storyline, also present in several other books, involves the growing influence – both within the Crusade Expeditionary forces and across the wider Imperium – of a forbidden, whose members, while loyal to the Emperor and Imperium, defy the Imperial Truth by worshipping the Emperor as a god.3. Galaxy in Flames: The heresy revealedGalaxy in Flames starts shortly after the end of. It outlines the corrupted Warmaster's descent into madness, which leads to the fomentation of his plot to betray the Imperium.
Horus pursues his secret planning of the rebellion in earnest, seeking and finding allies among his disgruntled fellow Primarchs, their Legions, and the Imperium's other organisations and key personalities. The novel details the first open move of the Heresy, the 'Betrayal of Istvaan III', wherein factions of four Astartes Legions who were deemed unconvertible by their traitor brethren are ambushed during a planetary invasion of the. The novel marks the first distinguishment of the 'Loyalists' and 'Traitor' factions within the Legions and other rebel forces, including the unmodified soldiers of the.4. The Flight of the Eisenstein: The heresy unfoldsThe Flight of the Eisenstein follows the eponymous Eisenstein, a space of the 'Death Guard' 14th Legion of Space Marines. The story follows the ship's escape from the Betrayal of Istvaan III, crewed by surviving loyalists of the four Legions present at the battle and commanded by Battle‑Captain of the Death Guard 7th Company and one of the few Commanders in the Traitor Legions that remain loyal to the Emperor – followed by the perilous voyage the vessel must take across the galaxy in an effort to reach Terra and raise the alarm over the developing rebellion. Garro and the others on board the vessel face suspicion and incredulity from Imperial authorities; apart from the inconceivable news of Horus' betrayal, the situation is complicated by the fact that many of the travellers on the Eisenstein now openly proclaim their belief in the Emperor's divinity, itself a.5. Fulgrim: Visions of TreacheryFulgrim centers on the Primarch of the 3rd Legion, the 'Emperor's Children'.
Characterised as flamboyant perfectionists, the novel tracks the descent of Fulgrim and his Legion into the service of Chaos roughly simultaneously with that of time Horus in. Fulgrim is delivered a warning about Horus' imminent betrayal and the disaster that may follow, but he and his staff dismiss it. The Emperor's Children eventually become the 'Chosen' of Slaanesh, one of the four Gods of Chaos, with which is slowly and unwittingly drawn into grotesque communion. Primarch and his 'Iron Hands' Space Marines (the 10th Legion) also play a prominent role in the novel as Fulgrim attempts to lure them into betrayal, and several other Primarchs and Legions make appearances. Described in passing is the pivotal Battle of Isstvan V, also known as the Dropsite Massacre, where several entirely Loyalist Legions are slaughtered in another Traitor ambush in the. The battle fully reveals the scale and ferocity of the rebellion.6. Descent of Angels: Loyalty and honourDescent of Angels is a pre-Heresy story that concludes about 50 years before the start of that conflict.
It introduces the 'Dark Angels', first of the Space Marine Legions, and their Primarch. The story is mainly told from the of, a native of the fictional planet Caliban. Caliban is an isolated, low-technology world that resembles a setting. Zahariel is introduced in the story as an Aspirant of the Order, an organisation of techno-. The first half of the novel is set on Caliban and covers the final battles of the Order under the leadership of Jonson, the future Primarch.
The book's second half describes Caliban's unification with the Imperium of Man as well as the actions of the Dark Angels during the early years of the Great Crusade. In this part of the story, Zahariel, selected as a candidate Space Marine, is accepted as a Dark Angel. A future within the Legion is intimated towards the end of the book.7. Legion: Secrets and liesLegion focuses on the 'Alpha Legion', the 20th and last of the Space Marine Legions. Characterised in earlier publications as clandestine and inscrutable, the book constitutes a major development of the entire canon of the setting with the revelation that the Legion's Primarch is actually a pair of twins,. The book also features the Imperial Army, the regular unmodified human fighting force of the Imperium, covering several officers and their units.
Lastly, the novel introduces a new organisation to the setting, the enigmatic and ancient Cabal – an interspecies organisation opposed to Chaos. The human is introduced as a prominent Cabal member. The story takes place over roughly a 6‑month period, about two years before the Heresy starts; it describes the events that eventually lead Alpharius and Omegon (publicly a single figure named Alpharius Omegon) to support Horus.8.
Battle for the Abyss: My brother, my enemyBattle for the Abyss concerns the lead‑up to a Traitor invasion of Ultramar, a remote star system and the home base of the unshakeably-Loyalist 13th Legion, the 'Ultramarines' (Book and ). Early in the Heresy, the Traitor Word Bearers Legion is tasked with organising and leading the invasion; they plan to use an immense, secretly commissioned warship, the Furious Abyss, to spearhead the surprise attack. The vessel, commanded by Fleet Captain, from shipyards near around the time of the events on Isstvan III , and sets course for Macragge, Ultramar's capital world. Leading the cast of Loyalist protagonists is, Fleet Commander and Captain of the 7th Company of the Ultramarines. They become aware of the powerful 's true purpose, and engage in long pursuit; they will seek to prevent the Furious Abyss from participating in the invasion and from reaching Macragge.9. Mechanicum: Knowledge is powerMechanicum is the first book in the series not to focus on either the Primarchs or their Space Marines Legions. The novel centres on the eponymous 'Mechanicum', a cult of machine-worshipping technologists based on the real-life planet Mars and which serves as the chief engineering authority in the nascent Imperium.
The machinations of Horus and the Chaos-worshipping Traitors affects the Martian cult as much as every other Imperial organisation, leading to a civil war on itself., Fabricator General of Mars and the technocracy's supreme leader, declares for Horus, and together they carry out a to eliminate Techpriest and Magos adherents of the Cult who are loyal to Terra and the Emperor. As the Mechanicum is the sole power responsible for all civil and military technology in the Imperium, the conflict has vast implications for whichever side of the broader intergalactic civil war receives Mars' crucial support.10.
Tales of HeresyTales of Heresy is a collection of short stories introducing and expanding upon numerous threads within the greater happenings of the Heresy. Various stories centre on the Custodian Guard, the elite -esque retinue of the Emperor, and the Sisters of Silence, a Imperial organisation of anti-psychic warrior‑nuns originally introduced in.
Most stories are concurrent with the Heresy, with some occurring in the years prior. It includes two stories that take place on Terra, one of which occurs long before the Heresy and adds to the background regarding the; another entry in the compilation is a Primarch origin story, covering the contentious circumstances under which the gladiatorial Primarch takes command of the 12th Space Marine Legion, which he renames from the 'Warhounds' to the 'World Eaters'. The book contains seven stories by various authors; several stories relate to full-length novels in the series.This anthology contains the following stories: Blood Games by Dan Abnett, Wolf at the Door by Mike Lee, Scions of the Storm by Anthony Reynolds, The Voice by James Swallow, Call of the Lion by Gav Thorpe, The Last Church by Graham McNeill and After Desh'ea by Matthew Farrer.Book 11 to Book 20 11. Fallen Angels: Deceit and betrayalFallen Angels continues the Dark Angels tale begun in Book 6,. The novel starts around the time of Book 6's conclusion, about 50 years before the Heresy, but forwards to just about the time of the Heresy's beginning in the opening chapters. It tells two stories: one concerns the effort of Primarch Lion El'Jonson and a small group of Dark Angels to deny a forge world (a planet devoted to manufacturing, especially of weapons) to Horus' forces; the other is the story of Luther (Lion El'Jonson's ), (by now a full Space Marine), and a Dark Angels contingent sent back to, the Dark Angels Legion home world.
They get involved in the fight against a growing that seeks to free the planet from under the Imperium's thumb.12. A Thousand Sons: All is dust.A Thousand Sons is the story of Primarch and the 'Thousand Sons' Space Marines, the 15th Legion; it mainly takes place before the Heresy begins.
Following a reprimand by the for dabbling in, Magnus and his Legion secretly continue to study the forbidden subjects. Then, around the time of Horus' corruption , Magnus learns through sorcery of his brother's impending betrayal. He tries – again through sorcery – to warn the Emperor, believing that the gravity of the news justifies his disobedience. However, he overreaches with his powers and damages the vital and secret project the Emperor is undertaking , endangering the safety of Terra itself in the process.
The Emperor is enraged and orders, Primarch of the 6th Legion (the 'Space Wolves'), to Prospero, the Thousand Sons Legion's in‑series home world. The Space Wolves, accompanied by other Imperial forces, are to bring Magnus and his Legion to Terra to account for themselves.13. Nemesis: War within the shadowsNemesis is set about two years after the events on Isstvan V described in Book 5,. It is a look at the war behind the war, the undertaken by the opposing sides in order to influence the visible conflict.
Specifically, it deals with a plan by a secret Imperial organisation, the Officio Assassinorum, to eliminate Horus; an 'Execution Force' consisting of operatives from all of the Officio's disciplines, and led by top-rated, is tasked with the mission. There have been several previous unsuccessful attempts against Horus' life, and this gives of the Traitor Word Bearers Legion the idea to field a weapon of his own: a highly specialised assassin, who is to be used in an audacious scheme to kill the Emperor.14. The First Heretic: Fall to ChaosThe First Heretic details the fall to of Primarch and the 17th Space Marine Legion, the 'Word Bearers'. Decades before the start of the rebellion they become relative to the by introducing. This results in public and humiliating censure of Lorgar and the entire assembled Legion, by the Emperor himself. The despairing Lorgar is subsequently swayed by two of his most trusted lieutenants, who are in secret allegiance with Chaos; eventually both Primarch and Legion covertly embrace (and promote) the, many years before Horus' corruption. The story is largely told from the point of view of, a Captain of the Word Bearers, who becomes commander of a Chaos- elite Legion unit.
It spans several decades, starting 43 years before the events on Isstvan V and concluding around the time the Word Bearers are on their way to assault Calth.15. Prospero Burns: The Wolves unleashedProspero Burns is part of the story arc of, however it follows a different but related timeline. The story begins more than a century before the Space Wolves-led mission to, and the concurrent start of the Heresy. It is presented from the point of view of, formerly a noted Terran academic who becomes a, and then the or of the 3rd Company of the Space Wolves Legion. On the surface it is his story; the important understory concerns the long-term machinations of Chaos, whose aim is the destruction of both Space Wolves and Thousand Sons. Chaos attempts to exploit the weaknesses of the Primarchs and their Legions in order to pit them against each other – the ultimate result is the confrontation on Prospero.
While this confrontation is taking place, Horus' previously covert rebellion becomes visible. The novel also adds background to Horus' fall and to the planning of the Heresy campaign by Chaos and its forces.16. Age of DarknessAge of Darkness is a compilation of nine short stories by various authors. They take place during the seven‑year period between the Dropsite Massacre on Isstvan V , and the conclusion of Horus' campaign. The stories present various facets of the unfolding conflict, as suspicion, insecurity, and paranoia spread through the galaxy on the wake of the Warmaster's betrayal. Subjects include: prepares for the end of the Imperium; a Traitor topples an Imperial planet; an unusual diplomatic contest will decide which side will be chosen by a world on the fence; a non-combatant may be a rebel agent or a herald of unpalatable truths for the Imperium; a Loyalist Space Marine in a Traitor Legion holds his own against his erstwhile brothers. Several of the included stories are linked through continuity; some are also prequels or sequels to stories in other series books.This anthology contains the following stories: Rules of Engagement by Graham McNeill, Liar's Due by James Swallow, Forgotten Sons by Nick Kyme, The Last Remembrancer by John French, Rebirth by Chris Wraight, The Face of Treachery by Gav Thorpe, Little Horus by Dan Abnett, The Iron Within by Rob Sanders, Savage Weapons by Aaron Dembski-Bowden.17.
The Outcast Dead: The truth lies withinThe Outcast Dead is the first novel-length story in the series to take place almost entirely on Terra. It covers a relatively short period, starting several months before ' catastrophic psychic visit at the Imperial Palace , and concluding several months after this event. The unauthorised visit is central to the story: apart from damaging the Emperor's top secret project and the planet's defense, it massively disrupts Terra's long-range communications infrastructure. The ensuing isolation and confusion cause indecision and delays for the Loyalist side. The story's main character is, previously a gifted Imperial attached to the Ultramarines Legion. He unwittingly becomes the keeper of a secret that could decide the victor in the developing galactic civil war.
The secret has additional implications regarding the Heresy's conclusion and the future course of the Imperium of Man. 'The Outcast Dead' are other protagonists: a small, disparate group of Space Marines suspected as traitors, with whom Zulane falls in during the second half of the book.18. Deliverance Lost: Ghosts of TerraDeliverance Lost is mainly concerned with the actions of Primarch and his Space Marine Command, the 19th Legion or 'Raven Guard', during the year following the. However, operatives and the play a prominent role.
The story starts about 3 months after the Dropsite Massacre, with the unexpected rescue of Corax and the remnants of his Legion (at less than 5% strength due to casualties in that battle). Arriving at Terra a few months after the events described in take place, Corax convinces the Emperor to impart to him the knowledge and material that may accelerate the rebuilding of his Legion. The second part of the novel describes the effort to reconstitute the Raven Guard, undertaken on Deliverance (its home world in Warhammer 40,000 fiction), and the pursuit of opposite objectives by the Alpha Legion. The novel features the reappearance of , and of other well-known characters; it also adds information about the developing strategies and subterfuge applied by the opposing sides, including reasons for Horus' timetable and for the Emperor's actions during the initial stages of the Heresy.19.
Know No Fear: The battle of CalthKnow No Fear documents the rebels' surprise assault on Calth, an ascendant world. It is planned and led by the Traitor Word Bearers Legion, now fully and openly committed to the spread of the. The narrative starts close to where the timelines of and converge (in their respective conclusions), with the invasion force en route to, or near the planet. The rebel mission just delivering a crippling blow to the Ultramarines Legion and their home system; its objectives may affect the entire Heresy campaign. The story tracks the Calth assault from its opening covert phases, and the actions of several characters.
Unaware of the developing rebellion and the Word Bearers' true role and allegiance, Primarch and his Ultramarines are unprepared for the underhand invasion: it is total, bloody war, with undertones, tactics, decisive use of technology, and the considerable involvement of; the inconceivable treachery and its implications forever change the Loyalists' view of reality.20.
