Summary

The eldar are an ancient race whose mode of war blends spirituality with a unique mastery of technology. In times of need, their entire race will rouse to war, led by terrifying, almost mythological figures - the phoenix lords, immortal beings that embody the warrior nature of the eldar.

A swift and deadly fighter, Jain Zar can harness the rage of her scream to slaughter any who dare oppose her. When a burgeoning ork empire starts to pose a threat to the eldar peoples, Jain Zar travels to the craftworld Ulthwé to warn them of the danger. However, she finds her plans to divert disaster are opposed by one of the craftworld's own seers, Eldrad.

With so many futures possible, which path should the eldar walk to avert destruction of their craftworlds and put an end to the greenskin menace?

I Wish there were more novels like this

Chaos and Imperium factions are very overused. I’m glad to see something that focuses on Xenos. Good novel and narration makes it even better.

Understand the Eldar

This isn't a story just about Jain Zar. It's a bit more than that. Highly recommend to the few Eldar fans.

Good ish story.

I found the narrator hammy, annoying and therefore distracted me from the story.
I can’t decide whether Gav Thorpe is a ‘good’ writer, however I did enjoy the story and as a Warhammer Aeldari player it was interesting.

Great origin set piece for the Phoenix Lords

The performance was great. But the transitions between past and present were so quick sometimes it was easy to feel lost for a moment.
The story was good, not ‘best 40K book’ standards. But was really enjoyable, especially if wanting to know more about Eldar culture.

voice performance was excellent

done well and shows a lot of background of the pheonix Lords and how they begin. Emma has a great voice for this telling. the interaction between different factions of eldar is great and the tyrant is done well. personally would have only been improved with abit more detail on the craftworld side of things but that's being picky. would recommend for sure

Not easy to convey the Eldar culture...

... but if anyone can, Gav can. I've been an avid Aeldari (and elven) fanboi for 3 decades. I've consumed much Warhammer lore and story. This is certainly one of the better yarns. Well narrated, well composed and provides compellingly immersion into an alien culture which can so easily be portrayed in shallow, trope-laden and artless style. This is a good one 👍

average eldar story

This was alright, gave some insight into the origin of Jain Zar. The jumping between two stories did mean both weren't as fleshed out. not bad though, pretty good performance by the narrator.
