Summary

Book two in the Bequin series

Alizebeth Bequin's world has been turned upside-down. Now she must choose who she will follow as Inquisitors Eisenhorn and Ravenor battle to discover the secrets at the heart of Queen Mab.

Listen to it because

The latest chapter in Dan Abnett's Inquisition saga is here, and it's packed with shocking twists and stunning revelations that will change the way you look at the Warhammer 40,000 universe forever.

The story

In the mysterious city of Queen Mab, the forces of light and darkness are locked in a murderous struggle for truth. The dedicated agents of the Holy Inquisition battle with their shadowy counterparts, the infamous Cognitae, to discover the encrypted identity of the enigmatic, all-powerful King in Yellow. Caught at the heart of this struggle is the pariah Alizebeth Bequin. Will she stand with the Inquisition or with the Cognitae that raised her? And if she chooses the Inquisition, will it be the wise but ruthless Ravenor or his rival, the denounced heretic Eisenhorn? Bequin must withstand an onslaught of angels, daemons, and even the monstrous warriors of the Traitor Legions, to unpick the greatest riddle of her life.

The beloved characters of Eisenhorn and Ravenor return, as implaccable adversaries in a novel of esoteric mystery, macabre intrigue, and vivid action, where the revelation of true identity could mean death...or might shake the Imperium to its very foundations.

I've never read a book that name dropped so much, the sheer volume of content for the 40k fandom is insane.
Can't wait to read the next in the series.

As a fan of the setting I couldn't be more intrigued and excited by this story and where it might go next. What an incredible universe has spring from this man's imagination.... I liked the performance of Penitent more than Pariah, some of the male character voices are still a bit clunky but it is a colossal achievement from one performer. That said, I have never liked how Harlon Nayl has been voiced in any of the audio books - but I couldn't do any better so there you have it.
Overall, a wonderful addition to the 40k universe, with all of the frailties and strengths of baseline humanity. Can't wait for the next one.

Hooked again.
