The Lords of Silence (Illustrated Hardback)

Releases: Aug 23, 2025

A Warhammer 40,000 Novel

The galaxy has changed. Armies of Chaos march across the Dark Imperium, among them the Death Guard, servants of the Plague God. But shadows of the past haunt these traitors…

READ IT BECAUSE

The Death Guard advance, and they have Sabatine, the Chapter planet of the White Consuls, in their sight. Chris Wraight, who's written about the sons of Mortarion in his Space Wolves books and the Siege of Terra novel, Warhawk, is the perfect person to delve into their particular brand of darkness, and now he adds his commentary to give you an even deeper insight into these twisted traitors.

THE STORY

The Cadian Gate is broken, and the Imperium is riven in two. The might of the Traitor Legions, kept shackled for millennia behind walls of iron and sorcery, has been unleashed on a darkening galaxy. Among those seeking vengeance on the Corpse Emperor’s faltering realm are the Death Guard, once proud crusaders of the Legiones Astartes, now debased creatures of terror and contagion. Mighty warbands carve bloody paths through the void, answering their lord primarch’s call to war. And yet for all their dread might in arms, there is no escape from the vicious legacies of the past, ones that will pursue them from the ruined daemon-worlds of the Eye of Terror and out into the smouldering wastes of the Imperium Nihilus.

Written by Chris Wraight.
