About this listen
A Warhammer 40,000 Drukhari Audiobook
Lelith Hesperax is the Queen of Knives – the greatest of Commorragh's wyches, and the deadliest gladiator in the galaxy. Now she returns to the Dark City, to slice her way through tangled webs of deception...
LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE
Follow the legendary grand succubus as she finds herself dragged back to Commorragh and enveloped once more within the twisted plots of Asdrubael Vect.
THE STORY
In the darkest corners of the webway lies the city of Commorragh. Home to the sadistic drukhari, millions are butchered upon its arenas’ sands to slake their terrible thirst for blood. The greatest of these butchers is Lelith Hesperax – the Queen of Knives, and the deadliest gladiator in the galaxy.
Lelith abandoned the Dark City to walk alongside the nomadic death cultists of Ynnead, and in her absence from Commorragh, pretenders to her blood-soaked crown have arisen.
When a blade strikes at Lelith from the shadows, she is pulled back to Commorragh, and into the murderous games of the Living Muse himself – Asdrubael Vect. As his schemes coil around her, the Queen of Knives finds herself ensnared once more in Vect’s terrible web, and this time, mere blades may not be enough to cut her free.

Each faction fights for dominance of a potent artefact, the Blade Petrific, said to be wrought by the Emperor Himself.

The Imperial Guard are the backbone of the Imperium’s military strength. While the Space Marines get all the glory, it’s the guard that holds back the tide of threats that would soon drown the Imperium by sheer weight of numbers. These audio dramas bring you into their tanks, platoons and trenches to see how ordinary men and women face the horrors of the 41st Millennium.

But now, deep within the mountains of the Ghurish Heartlands, something ancient stirs. A god long-trapped is about to awaken, and the drumbeat of war calls. Ferocious Ironjawz, gluttonous Ogors and towering gargants all set their sights on the human interlopers, determined to cast down their keeps.

But now, as the Warmaster Horus marches on Terra to rip his father from the Throne, the seat of the arch-traitor’s power lies empty. Cthonia, a world once dominated by brutal murder-gangs, is occupied by the Emperor’s praetorians—the indomitable Imperial Fists. For the Sons of Horus, this outrage demands a reckoning.

Good!
While not the most deeply thematic nor introspective novels and the actress expectantly struggles with diversifying the voices of characters of the other gender (nothing new nor exclusive to this nove) the overall enjoyable and oddly likable/charming personality of Lelith and solid overall delivery with fantastic emotive acting at specific points result in a fun and enjoyable novel non the less.
While no new lore is presented it is always interesting to see how it materializes in day to day occurances. The action also often contemplates, and is intergrated into, the narrative as opposed to feeling like mandated bolter porn which is always appreciated, one of the final fights becomes quite engaging for such reasons. Overall, for a contemporary Drukhari/Eldar novel: quite solid! Brooks may not always hit the bullseye but he sure doesn't miss.

Does not do the Character Justice.
This book absolutely failed to explore Drukhari culture and civilization. Lelith is horribly written. the Queen of Blades and one of thebdealdiest warriors in the galaxy deserved more effort in her combat. I lost track of the times her "blows flew in a flurry so fast the human eye couldnt see". Nothing in the book makes me want to reccomend to even the most die hard Drukhari player. The attempt at Grimdark seems to try and remain as PG-13 as possible, and it makes the entire tone of the books seem juvenille. The performace was okay, but nothing to rave about

Decent story ruined by simplistic writing and shallow characters.
This is, unfortunately one of the 85% of Warhammer novels with amateurish writing and mediocre narration. I highly recommend Aaron Dembski-Bowden; his craft is far superior to this juvenile literature.
