Parts 9 and 10 of the 8 part series. We will see if there is an 11th, not like they ever lied about how many book the siege will be before right?...

Now, at the final hour of the final day, the Emperor rises. With him come his Angel, his Praetorian, and his Captain, all determined to enact terrible vengeance. Yet the hope is slim, for the Warmaster sees all and knows all, and the ultimate victory of Chaos is at hand.

Massive fan of the break up chapters which glance over snippets of the horror of the galactic civil wars culmination (several chapters titled “Fragments”).

Horus kills the Emperor permanently, realises his mistake, frees himself from Chaos’ influence, purges the immaterium, retains the power of Chaos, effectively becoming an Emperor-equivalent being. The loyal primarchs expel him from the empire, but Horus aids humanity from the shadows. The walls have fallen, the gates are breached, and the defenders are slain. It is the end and the death. After seven brutal years of civil war, the Warmaster stands on the verge of victory. Horus Lupercal, once beloved son, has come to murder his father.

The genre. It is a dark space opera, high fantasy, with links to history and other literature - for example, Paradise Lost, the Odyssey, etc. (the original fantasy series’s).
