About this listen

A Warhammer Age of Sigmar Novel

Heldanarr Fall just wants to be left in peace in Aqshy, but the gleaming golden warriors of Sigmar won’t let him be. So he fights back – and draws upon a more primal power...

Listen to it because...

This is a Mortal Realms story with a twist – a virtuous man succumbs to the path of darkness, and wages a war against Sigmar.

The story:

Heldanarr Fall dreams of a world without gods.

When the Azyrites descended upon the Burning Valley – a kingdom carved from the Aqshian desert – they brought arrogance and cruelty with their riches, and a god who seemed blind to it all. Despite harrowing losses, Held clung to his people’s ways, forging a new existence without a single prayer to the armoured deity, Sigmar.

Now, all Held wants is solitude. But after saving a Sigmarite priestess from violent death, her troubles catch up to them and destroy the last of his peace. First broken, then enraged, he launches a brutal war of vengeance against Sigmar’s worshippers, and soon finds himself thrust against the Stormcast Eternals, led by the cunning strategist Ildrid Stormsworn.

Alone, he cannot hope to win, yet surrender would mean accepting the mercy of a god he despises. To defeat the Stormcasts and avenge his fate, Held must embrace older, darker powers that risk the very freedom for which he fights. But when Sigmar's rulers are tyrants and the Champions of Chaos prove worthy, which path is the most righteous? And once this choice is made, who will Heldanarr Fall become?

great character development

these warhammer books are at their best when they spend the time to develop characters, and this book did that in spades. entertaining read with multi-dimensional characters.

This is a brilliant ground level story, about the grim-darkness of the Age of Sigmar

The character’s narrative arc is haunting, and whilst condemning so many of his actions, is awfully coherent in it’s explanation. Terrific writing and brilliant pacing.

Pretty thorough story

This story takes full advantage of the various reasons one would be drawn to chaos. It engages with multiple plots and ties many of them together through it’s character driven narrative.

Phenomenal

By far the best Black library book I’ve read/listened to with a thoroughly enjoyable main character. Also shows us a dark side to the free cities of Azyr that we often don’t see in any detail. Well worth the listen

Blown away

I’m a big Khorne fan mostly from the perspective of 40k, owning a small world eaters army and all of the Horus heresy novels for them. I could never properly get into age of sigmar with them due to the lack of POV and let me tell you this is a stellar POV novel. The main character is from one of the reclaimed realms that have been colonised by sigmar. Not all is sunshine however, for he has suffered firsthand from his people’s displacement and treatment as second class citizens. Radicalised by the hardships he endures, he leads a warband of his people in rebellion. He’s constantly caught between seeking power through the Godeater, a local Khorne Idol and remaining free from the gods he so blames for his struggles. His own people are similarly split between those that worship sigmar despite the colonialism’s flaws, those that simply wish to have political autonomy and those that embrace Khorne’s path of glory. The supporting characters are excellent foils for each differing perspective, amongst his warband’s followers. Colonialism and the nature of the gods themselves is at the heart of the themes of the story and without getting too much into it I can say it handles these topics with consideration and nuance.

The performance by Timothy Watson is very good, enough so that binging several hours at a time was always fresh.

I highly recommend

Blood for the blood god

the narrator was engaging, the first person approach is interesting and provides a deep look at the humans involvement with the chaos gods. similar to soul wars, from the chaos perspective. worth a listen !
