Baal is besieged. Hive Fleet Leviathan has reached the homeworld of the Blood Angels, and the survival of the entire bloodline of Sanguinius hangs in the balance.

Product description
The Devastation of Baal is an epic Warhammer 40,000 novel filled with desperate battles, tragic sacrifices and the savage heroism of the sons of Sanguinius. As the Tyranid swarm closes around Baal, Commander Dante calls upon the Successor Chapters descended from the ancient Ninth Legion to defend their shared legacy.

Warriors from across the Blood Angels bloodline gather in numbers unseen since the distant age of the Horus Heresy. Old rivalries must be set aside, ancient bonds renewed and every available blade turned against an enemy whose hunger threatens far more than a single world.

Written by Guy Haley, the novel combines immense battlefield spectacle with the personal struggles of warriors who know that even victory may demand an unbearable price. It is a key Blood Angels story and an excellent choice for readers interested in Commander Dante, the Tyranids and the changing shape of the Imperium.
