what books does the Lion appear in post heresy
The Lion shows up post-Heresy in The Lion: Son of the Forest as the main modern 40k novel for him, and he also appears in the Arks of Omen: The Lion campaign book. He is referenced in newer Dark Angels codex material as well.
Main post-Heresy books
- The Lion: Son of the Forest — the key novel for the Lion’s return and his role in the modern setting.
- Arks of Omen: The Lion — campaign book with Lion-focused material rather than a standard novel.
- Dark Angels codex books — contain background, lore, and smaller Lion-related references.
Earlier books with the Lion
If you also meant books outside post-Heresy but featuring him heavily, people commonly point to The Unremembered Empire , Angels of Caliban , and The Lion /Primarch-era material.
Practical reading order
- The Lion: Son of the Forest.
- Arks of Omen: The Lion.
- Dark Angels codex lore for follow-up context.
In forum discussions, this is usually treated as the short answer: if you want the Lion in the post-Heresy era, start with Son of the Forest.
TL;DR: post-Heresy, the Lion’s main appearance is The Lion: Son of the Forest , with additional material in Arks of Omen: The Lion and Dark Angels codex lore.
