About this listen

A Warhammer 40,000 novel.

The death of Lord Azariel, head of the Navigator House Brobantis, draws his widow into a dark world of ritual killings and cult murders, while larger plans are at work and entire worlds are threatened....

Listen to it because:

Delve into the murky politics of the Navigator houses with a novel packed full of murder, conspiracy and warp-borne threats.

The story:

Lord Azariel, Head of the Navigator House Brobantis, is dead. His widow and murderer, the Lady Chettamandey, stands to inherit his power and influence. Her plans for ascension are curtailed when she’s drawn into a dark world of ritual killings and cult murders. With planets being dragged into the warp seemingly at a whim, the threat to Chettamandey’s legacy is dire, and only she can avert potential disaster.

Written by Mike Brooks. Narrated by Helen Keeley.

If you are looking for more 40k military and space battle kind of boks, this is not it.
It's generally a bit of a murder/mystery book where you follow three characters. I will say that the darker of these three characters are a bit typical for his role, but the other two was very enjoyable. Especially having an older, and somewhat physically weak character as the main character was refreshing in a Warhammer book.

You can probably get into this book with little knowledge of 40k, as it is fairly self contained.
You get an insight of the structures and politics of navigator families, mutations, and a bit more insight to the workings of the void/chaos. One of the better 40k books I have read, and I recommend it for those interested.

Very good.

As soon as I saw the cover art and synopsis of this novel I expected great thing's, needless to say I wasn't disappointed! This book is a perfect window into the murky politics and inner workings of the imperium of man. The plot keeps you hooked with very believable and occasionally funny characters with some amazing twists and turns! Overall I would wholeheartedly recommend this novel!!!

Best 40k Book Since Eisenhorn!

Strong characters with compelling backgrounds and likable personalities! Great minority representation that was written well into the story. Underlined the human emotions whilst still remaining true to the scifi fantasy! ❤️

10/10 perfect!!

Excellent story and narration. With so many series around it is refreshing to have a stand alone book.

My favourite 40K story so far.
