About this listen

A Warhammer Age of Sigmar novel.

Witness the destructive forces that are on the rise in the Realm of Beasts first-hand, and see the indomitable defences of Excelsis tested like never before.

Listen to It Because

This tie-in novel coincides with the launch of Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Dominion, and it brings you right up to date with the events that are taking place in the bestial realm of Ghur.

The Story

In the rain-soaked shanty towns of Excelsis, sellsword Niksar Astaboras drunkenly barters his way to a meaningless existence. Little does he care for the war that rages between men and monsters beyond the city walls, despite portents of its encroaching threat. Mortal life in the Realm of Beasts is short enough, and to leave the shelter of civilisation is to surrender to certain death.

But death is coming to Excelsis. The forces of Destruction are on the move, and the realm quakes with each thunderous step. In the wildlands, a sinister new foe overwhelms even the mighty Stormcast Eternals. Yet just as all seems lost, an unexpected champion rises – one to whom Niksar is inextricably linked – ready to lead a crusade into the very heart of darkness. Embroiled in this harrowing journey, Niksar is forced to choose between loyalty and the chance of survival, and in so doing discover his true worth in the greatest battle yet against the savage forces of Destruction.

Written by Darius Hinks. Narrated by Richard Reed.

Unlike some other Black Library titles based on box set releases, there's very little "box contents listing" here. In it's place is a tense story, peppered with horror, and with some decent characters to follow, leading to one of the coolest endings I've heard in a Warhammer story for some time. The performance is mostly solid, though there are a few moments of stumbling that could have been easily ironed out with a second take. As an introduction to Age Of Sigmar, or a catch-up to the current setting focus that is the dreary, horrifying realm of Ghur, you'd do well to give Dominion a listen.

Much better than I thought it would be!

A solid tale set in the Mortal Realms of Age of Sigmar.

The main thing that bugged me was the overuse of "howl" (it's used even when a different descriptor would have been more appropriate).

Richard Reed is reasonable as a narrator, if a little breathless which lends a certain "on the edge of disaster" feel that whilst appropriate for some scenes didn't quite fit the rest of the book.

All in all enjoyable!

Solid AoS - if a little repetitive

Great kick off point for Age of Sigmar and the Stormcast Eternals is Kruleboyz.

Love the setting of Ghur.

Really great AoS introductory story.

I approached this timidly as the book ‘Indomitus’ (the equivalent of this novel set in 40K) was absolutely terrible. And yet this is easily my favourite book of the year so far.

The main characters (which are human) are easy to get behind and the book doesn’t get dry when done from the point of the stormcast externals like I thought it would. The new orks add a menacing and almost horror element to boot. Fantastic book. A must read for anyone remotely interested in AoS. Here’s hoping this book inspires some new character models!

A thrilling listen from start to finish.

Amazing story, loved it and will definitely listen again. Even if you don't know or like Age of Sigmar it's a great story regardless.

Exceptional
