BJORN: THE FELL-HANDED (HB)
A Warhammer 40,000 Novel
Awaken one of the Imperium's oldest and most legendary warriors in Bjorn: The Fell-handed, a Warhammer 40,000 novel by Justin D Hill. A hero of the Space Wolves who remembers the distant age of the Horus Heresy, Bjorn has survived for millennia within the armored sarcophagus of a Dreadnought, awakened only when the Chapter faces threats worthy of his attention.
Now, an ancient enemy has returned to Fenris.
A ghost ship emerges from the warp carrying the horrors of the Death Guard directly toward the proud halls of the Space Wolves. As the dead stir and the barrier between worlds begins to tear apart, Bjorn must once again rise from his long slumber and lead his kin into battle.
The Story
Bjorn the Fell-handed is the oldest living Space Marine in the Imperium.
He fought beside legendary warriors during an age that has since passed into myth, surviving the catastrophic events that reshaped Humanity during the Horus Heresy. Thousands of years later, his broken body remains entombed within a mighty Dreadnought.
For centuries at a time, Bjorn sleeps.
Only events of tremendous importance justify awakening the ancient warrior.
The arrival of a mysterious vessel from the warp is one such occasion.
The ghost ship brings the corruption of the Death Guard to Fenris, threatening the home of the Space Wolves with an enemy whose roots stretch back into Bjorn's own ancient past.
With the dead stirring and supernatural horrors closing in, Bjorn must stand between his Chapter and damnation.
Read It Because
Few characters in Warhammer 40,000 can provide the perspective of Bjorn the Fell-handed.
He doesn't simply know the legends surrounding the Horus Heresy—he lived through them.
Those thousands of years of memory have left their scars. Bjorn carries knowledge of what the Imperium once was, what it has become, and the warriors and friends who disappeared long before most living humans were born.
This novel combines the fury of the Space Wolves, the corruption of the Death Guard, and the perspective of a warrior who has witnessed ten thousand years of Imperial history.

Bjorn the Fell-handed
Bjorn is more than an ancient Space Marine.
He is a living connection to the Imperium's distant past.
A warrior from the earliest days of the Space Wolves, Bjorn was eventually interred within a Dreadnought sarcophagus. For approximately eight thousand years, he has remained within that armored shell, spending long periods dormant before being awakened when his Chapter faces moments of exceptional importance.
To younger Space Wolves, Bjorn is simultaneously warrior, ancestor, and living legend.
Ancient Enemies Return
The Death Guard trace their own history back to the same ancient conflicts that shaped Bjorn's life.
Their arrival on Fenris therefore represents more than another invasion. Bjorn faces enemies connected to a past that most inhabitants of the Imperium understand only through myth, religious teaching, and fragmented historical records.
As the boundaries between the living and dead begin to weaken, those memories become impossible to escape.
