I'm interested in reading more on Scion fluff. Is there a novel from Black Library that happens to follow a squad of Scions (aka Stormtroopers)? Or just a good online source? I'd prefer reading something that refers to them as Scions as opposed to Stormtroopers, but I know they are the same thing. Thanks.

To be honest the only thing I can think of is their own codex/supplement. I think their new name is too new to have books with their new names in them but I have not checked around.

Here's an ebook from The Black Library that actually refers to them as Scions: The Trophy.

Given that Scion is such a new name, it'll probably be a little while until there's fluff written specifically about them. I know BL did release a few other AM/IG books in April, and they might mention the Scions although I do not know.

Redemption Corps is about Storm Troopers, and there's a short story in Hammer and Bolter: Issue 26 about them as well.

Hope this helps!

Look up the Stormtrooper Regiment. That is the old name for the new Militarum Tempestus.

Here's a good place to start:

There's nothing yet published using the new Scions term, as it's only been out a few weeks now.
