Angels of Darkness and Blood
by James Swallow
2021
A Warhammer 40,000 collection focused on Space Marines, darkness, and blood-soaked duty. Swallow's Blood Angels material fits naturally here, especially for readers following the Chapter's cursed nobility.
Series background & context
Warhammer 40,000 is a far-future setting of endless war, collapsing empires, alien threats, daemons, zealotry, and soldiers trying to survive systems much larger than themselves. James Swallow has written several important corners of it.
His Blood Angels books follow Brother Rafen and a Chapter haunted by its own blood. His Sisters of Battle stories follow Sister Miriya and the Adepta Sororitas through faith, heresy, and xenos horror. His Horus Heresy work goes back to the civil war that made the 41st millennium so broken.
For Swallow specifically, start with The Flight of the Eisenstein for the Heresy, Deus Encarmine for Blood Angels, or Faith and Fire for Sisters of Battle.
