The Scouring: Les Cendres de l’Imperium (French)

Though some believe Horus’ death heralds an opportunity for peace, the wise know that this war will never truly end. The Heresy has torn the galaxy apart, fractured Legions, and consumed entire worlds. Now, the question is no longer who wins, but who will seize power amid the ruins left by its flames. The era of the Purge begins—marked by ruthless retribution, relentless pursuit, and the desperate struggle to rebuild a shattered Imperium.

Ashes of the Imperium by Chris Wraight is the first book to thoroughly explore this grim aftermath. It plunges readers into the heart of the Purge, revealing the direct consequences of the civil war and the power shifts reshaping Imperial authority. Blending survival, loyalty, and unyielding justice, this story offers essential insight into the post-Heresy era for anyone seeking to understand how the Imperium strives to rise again from its own ashes.
