Summary

A Warhammer 40,000 Novel

A Wolf Priest is tasked by Ulrik the Slayer to recover an ancient relic of the Chapter – a chance for him to write his own legendary saga.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

Ivar Krakenblood is a Space Wolves hero in the making. But first he must learn that those who seek glory in place of destiny – and an end worthy of the sagas – never find what they yearn for.

THE STORY

All sagas begin with blood.

Born upon the ice world of Fenris, Ivar Krakenblood has been raised to stand as one of its warrior sons, anointed to serve as a Wolf Priest. Life and death are his to give, and Ivar has proven his worth with deed and word. Still, the glory of true legend has always escaped him.

On a quest given to him by Ulrik the Slayer himself, Ivar seizes the chance to recover a lost relic of the Space Wolves Chapter and challenge the fates themselves. With a band of warriors, old comrades, and new allies, he sets out to forge his own path, one worthy of a son of Russ.

Yet those who strive to change their destiny must often pay a terrible price. There are forces that lurk in the darkness, seeking to sever him from his fate.

In the short story Price of Morkai, a Wolf Priest must deliver a fallen brother's geneseed back to the Space Wolves Chapter, while reflecting on his battle as a Blood Claw with the great Fenrisian beast responsible.

Written by Marc Collins. Narrated by Joshua Manning.

Reads like 15 hours of amateur fetish material. Every sentence contains some kind of furry viking gush. There is no depth, no backstory, no investment in any of the characters or their endeavors.

pretty mid

listened to a heap of audio books.
Book is probably a good story, and I'm not gonna find out. the Voice actor has a great voice, but damn it is not a good story telling voice. It is far too 'epic' and slow. got a few hours in and switched it off.
I hope the voice works for you.
Compared to so many other brilliant readings, this one has shit the bed.

Possibly a great story, couldn't get over the voice acting

I couldnt even finish this audiobook.
The writer has no idea who or what the space wolves are, consistently throughout the story the author repeatedly made statements that are completely wrong. For example at one stage, a character refers to the 'Chapter symbol/marking they all wear' Space wolves do not have 1 chapter symbol/marking!
in addition there is a section where an Iron Priest says 'if only I had been stronger i could have been a wolf priest' ......... when it has nothing to do with strength!

lastly the author spends far too long on overdrawn descriptions and explanations, often repeating themselves, to the point where following the actual story and dialogue is extreemly difficult.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT LET THIS AUTHOR WRITE ANOTHER SPACE WOLVES BOOK AND MAKE SURE THE EDITOR KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE DOING !

THIS IS NOT A SPACE WOLVES BOOK!
