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 Fantastic Story of Corruption
While this story has been compared by others to another excellent book, House of Night and Chain, it presents an entirely different type of story. This isn't a ghost tale, it's a story of a woman's slow slide into corruption when faced with danger and intrigue, and even then the ending was a surprise that I found exciting and interesting. Highly recommend.

first bad novel from warhammer horror
I agree with the other reviewer (Quentin). this felt nothing like a horror story, and worse; it came incredibly close to feeling like a poor man's retelling of two much better (and still very recent) BL novels; Rites of Passage and House of Night & Chain. all three books feature what honesty feels like a whopping 70% similarity in story beats. seriously. they are that similar.
surely someone at Black Library should have been able to identify this earlier in the process when the novels were being sketched? very disappointing.
as a bonus for anyone who read this far though: let me recommend the EXCELLENT hortor novel 'Castle of Blood' by C.L Werner. a newer addition to the BL team and wow can he write. that book kicks ass. this one, sadly. does not.
