About this listen

A Warhammer Age of Sigmar Audiobook

Ushoran, the Carrion King. Paragon of majesty, ravening abomination. His curse – to perceive the grimdark Mortal Realms as a chivalric kingdom, and himself, not as a twisted monstrosity, but as an exemplar of kings. Before him scuttle the horrors of his brood – the ghoul courts – spreading their deluded taint.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

Is madness the only way to defeat madness? Discover the utter terror of facing the Mortarch of Delusion and his twisted cannibalistic minions in a twisting, turning tale of obsession.

THE STORY

For generations, the people of the Howling Vale have fought against this madness, largely in vain. Now, Kosomir Vornarov, the city’s Master Patriarch, risks everything – his reputation, friends, even his people’s survival – to destroy the flesh-eater menace entirely and forge a brighter future in his name.

Two ambitious lords, two haunted souls. Whose madness will prove the stronger?

Written by Dale Lucas. Narrated by Richard Reed. Runtime 8 hours and 51 minutes approx.

Short and sweet, a surprisingly great book about the Flesh Eaters and how they perceive the world and how they are perceived.
This book wants to ask how the human rulers can often be the real monsters, in a Richard Matheson's "I am Legend" sort of way. Nothing too groundbreaking, but Dale Lucas really managed to make me root and even get emotional for these ghouls.

The book was also wonderfully narrated by Richard Reed.

Overall: Good book, great narration, Ushoran is a daddy and I can recommend this to anyone interested in FEC as a faction and for the fans of AoS in general.

Praise be the Summerking. He now has my loyalty.

Very good story well worth the listen but as some books befor from AoS, there’s to little about the title protagonist.

Very good but to little of Ushoran

I throughly enjoyed this novel, having hoped for one focused on Ushoran since his model was released and the wider relaunch of the Flesh-Eater Courts faction.

It follows two rulers on opposite sides, and explores the weight of leadership, hard choices and what makes a good ruler. For Ushoran, wrapped in his chivalric delusion, he remains a noble and generous king to his followers, regardless that they are cannibalistic, bloodthirsty ghouls. His mortal adversary, Master Patriarch Voranov faces endless difficult choices to try and protect his people from the ghouls’ predations and descends into paranoia, cruelty and shocking ruthlessness. Dale Lucas has done an excellent at making Voranov’s choices somewhat understandable, along the lines of ‘for the greater good’ but he serves as a superb foil to Ushoran’s boundless generosity and kindness towards his ‘people’.

I did find that the finale of the story a bit sudden, despite the good work done to build the tension right up to the final confrontation. It’s a minor thing and did not lessen my enjoyment at all.

Once again, Richard Rees has done a masterful job with the narration. So far anything written for Ushoran had be in the form of almost Shakespearean English, all thee, thou and thy, which I’ve enjoyed as it befits his delusions. I had no real notion of his voice but Richard Reed created something almost Nosferatu-esque which I feel perfect for such a monstrous character.

Overall I loved this story and really hope it encourages Black Library to commission more stories about my favourite Mortarch!

Incredible narration!

A highly enjoyable story which perfectly encapsulates Ushoran's perspective intertwined with a tale about the slow unrelenting horror of the flesh eater courts.

A must for any fan of the mad ghouls

A delight

I keep being tricked by warhammer books that sound as if they are going to center around a character just to have some human and the sigmarines take center stage for 90% of it.
I also expected some sort of twist, he IS the mortarch of Delusion after all.
But the last minute, last page reveals and ending were very underwhelming and quite frankly not a reveal or twist at all.
It also came out of nowhere and none of the story leading up to it actually Built towards it.
If you already know what the flesh eater courts are and who Ushoran is then you wont gain anything from this book.
Its just book nr 39 of "normal humans living human lives" but this time the threat is specifically the flesh eaters...

Ushoran is a side character in his own book
