RENEGADES: LORD OF EXCESS (PB)

A Warhammer 40,000 Novel – The Perfection of Ruin

The Emperor's Children have fallen far from their once-lofty ideals, consumed by the pursuit of excess and twisted perfection. In The Perfection of Ruin, proud warlord Xantine seeks to elevate his existence beyond mere plunder and destruction, setting his sights on remaking a wayward Imperial world in his own image. But even for a son of Fulgrim, perfection is a treacherous path.

Why Read It?
This novel offers a darkly fascinating glimpse into the minds of the Emperor's Children, exploring their arrogance, decadence, and the destructive consequences of their pursuit of perfection. It’s a gripping tale of ambition, corruption, and the inevitable collapse of grand ideals under the weight of Chaos.

The Story:
The Emperor's Children once epitomized beauty, discipline, and perfection, but now their splintered warbands wander the stars in depravity and ruin. For Xantine, leader of the Adored, mere hedonistic pillaging isn’t enough. When he discovers Serrine, an isolated Imperial world brimming with wealth but plagued by corruption and inequality, he sees the chance to create a masterpiece.

Xantine descends upon Serrine, intent on reshaping it into the perfect world, a reflection of his own twisted vision of order and beauty. But Serrine hides dark secrets, and the warband’s excesses begin to spiral out of control. As Xantine’s grand experiment unravels, treachery brews within his ranks, and the festering rot of the world threatens to consume his dream from within.

What to Expect:

• A Twisted Vision: Witness the dark ambition of an Emperor’s Children warlord who believes he can bring salvation through destruction and indulgence.
• Decadence and Decay: Explore the hedonistic and grotesque excesses of the Emperor’s Children as their quest for perfection descends into chaos.

Written by Rich McCormick, The Perfection of Ruin offers an unflinching look at the Emperor’s Children and their relentless drive to impose their warped ideals on a galaxy already steeped in despair. Will Xantine’s vision of perfection rise above the chaos, or will it crumble under the weight of his own hubris?
