About this listen

A Warhammer Horror novel.

Ashielle Matkosen, new Lord Governor of Ceocan, discovers a horrific secret in a vault beneath her father’s palace - a blasphemous living weapon. Forming an ancient pact with it may avenge her father’s death - but at the cost of her soul.

Listen to it because:

Deals with daemons aren't exactly rare in the 41st millennium - but the nature of this one, and the terrors it inflicts, will shock and surprise you.

The story:

With the death of Ruprekt Matkosen, his daughter, Ashielle, is now the Lord Governor of Ceocan. Her father’s murderers still lurk in the shadows, threatening not only her rule but every mortal soul under her protection. Even her own people cannot be trusted - any one of them may be part of the poisonous plot to destroy her bloodline.

Deep beneath the palace, locked away from all human contact, Ashielle finds a weapon unlike any other: a monster, more adept at hunting in the darkness than any assassin. Allying with such a horror is surely blasphemy, but with doom skulking around every corner, Ashielle is forced to revive an ancient pact with the beast. Yet she soon discovers that her family’s mortal enemies are not the only evil that hungers to consume her.

Written by J C Stearns. Narrated by Katy Maw.

A good political story

While for a lot of the book it may focus more on the political machinations of a young ruler who has ascended to power after the deaths of her father and brother this book does still have a horror core.

Similarly the performance is spectacular communication many different characters and approaches clearly.

the book synopsis lies.

Spoiler alert:

for what it's worth this is an ordo xenos problem, no daemons. The scope and scale of the story versus the problem and monster can feel a bit silly sometimes but it's still good overall and another great addition to the growing catalogue of Warhammer horror starring a planetary governor.
