About the Legacy of Caliban series
Legacy of Caliban is Gav Thorpe's Warhammer 40,000 trilogy about the Dark Angels, the secretive Space Marine Chapter forever hunting the Fallen -- former battle-brothers who sided with the traitor primarch Luther during the Horus Heresy and have spent ten thousand years in hiding ever since. Ravenwing (2012) follows Sammael, Master of the Ravenwing, and the Chapter's fast-attack bike squadrons as they pursue a Fallen Angel across the galaxy; Master of Sanctity (2014) turns to Asmodai, the Chapter's fanatical Interrogator-Chaplain, and the brutal internal discipline that keeps the Dark Angels' secret intact; The Unforgiven (2015) closes the trilogy by pulling the Chapter's long, guilt-bound war against its own past to a head.
Where many Dark Angels stories focus on the hunt for the Fallen as a procedural mystery, Thorpe's trilogy leans into the Chapter's institutional paranoia and self-inflicted cruelty -- the Dark Angels here are less noble crusaders than an order quietly poisoned by ten millennia of guarding a shameful secret, making Legacy of Caliban one of Black Library's more psychologically pointed takes on the Chapter.
