About this listen

A Cado Ezechiar Novel

In his first full-length novel, the vampiric anti-hero Cado Ezechiar finds himself caught in a web of war and deceit in the city of Aventhis.

Listen to it because

The cold-hearted Cado Ezechiar is obsessed with revenge and keeping to his strict moral code—can he stay true to himself and avenge those who he has lost?

The story

Cado Ezechiar is a wanderer who has outlived the memory of the age that made him. A Soulblight vampire who accepted the curse as his people and kingdom fell to Chaos, he now roams the Realm of Death and beyond seeking retribution and salvation for the ones he failed.

Aided by the bound spirits of those he lost, Cado follows a path of revenge, hunting the servants of Chaos to slake his need for blood while seeking the Sorcerer of Change who destroyed his kingdom. When his hunt leads him to the free city of Aventhis, Cado becomes caught up in the machinations of greater powers—beings who see the city and its people as dust in the eyes of ambitious gods. Torn between his code of honour and his desire for vengeance, Cado must navigate a web of war and deceit, or lose everything.

Hollow King is a great look at the realm of shyish showing how mortals live in the afterlife and how they view the various undead factions of Age of Sigmar and Cado serves as a wonderful and intriguing protagonist that one can relate to while also being alien enough to still feel inhuman, however the story itself at times can be predictable and while it has stand out characters its antagonist are a bit lacking and predictable but overall a great read for any AoS fan

an interesting look into the realm of shyish from one of the more unique soulblight characters
