In the Emperor's name, Rogal Dorn and Malcador the Sigillite dispatch the largest force of legionaries and primarchs ever assembled to end Horus' rebellion before it can begin. But the loyalists, on their way to enact vengeance, do not know the depth of the betrayal they face. They will not be the perpetrators of a massacre, but its victims. The last hope of returning to the Great Crusade and the unity of the Imperium will die in the dust of Isstvan V, and all those that survive will live in a new age of darkness.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn French\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of several Horus Heresy stories including the novels \u003ci\u003eThe Solar War, Mortis, Praetorian of Dorn, Tallarn, Slaves to Darkness\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSigismund: The Eternal Crusader, \u003c\/i\u003e the novella \u003ci\u003eThe Crimson Fist, \u003c\/i\u003e and the audio dramas \u003ci\u003eDark Compliance, Templar\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eWarmaster.\u003c\/i\u003e For Warhammer 40,000 he has written \u003ci\u003eResurrection, Incarnation\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eDivination\u003c\/i\u003e for The Horusian Wars and three tie-in audio dramas - the Scribe Award-winning \u003ci\u003eAgent of the Throne: Blood and Lies, \u003c\/i\u003e as well as \u003ci\u003eAgent of the Throne: Truth and Dreams\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eAgent of the Throne: Ashes and Oaths.\u003c\/i\u003e John has also written the Ahriman series, the Age of Sigmar novels \u003ci\u003eThe Hollow King\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Dead Kingdom\u003c\/i\u003e and many short stories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 416\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.1 x 7.7 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 20, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68351298502877,"sku":"9781836094661","price":21.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/hO-GhVRHuJ9781836094661.webp?v=1793350314","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/dropsite-massacre-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
