About this listen

The Custodian Guard have stood watch over the Emperor's Palace on Terra since the foundation of the Imperium. Charged with protecting the Master of Mankind from all threats, within and without, their fearsome resolve is renowned throughout the galaxy, and their golden armour is the last thing that a would-be assassin or saboteur will ever see.

Alongside the Null-maidens of the Sisters of Silence, who are anathema to psykers and sorcerers alike, there is no threat to the Golden Throne that they alone cannot vanquish...until now.

A good book

This was pretty good story overall with pretty amazing voice acting. I recommend reading this before the fall of Cadia because it really sets the tone for what's going to happen during the books. This book is very good at explaining its story and surroundings bit over does in ot some places. This book could have been an hour shorter and not much would be missed, but with how it is currently written I have no complaints about the story. This is just a nitpick.

Riveting!

I've listened to so many 40k novels, and found this one one of the best I've ever absorbed.

A great story and fantastic performances, best representation of the Legio Custodes and Anathema Psykana I have yet to encounter.

My favourite W40k book so far

I like it even more than Eisenhorn. It can both get you emotional from human perspective, and show how badass the Custodes are! Also, the performances are stellar.

Fantastic listen!

I recently started playing 40k; more specifically with the Custodes. This story was a great introduction for some main characters of the Golden Legion. A great telling of the Golden boys getting the band back together!
