About this listen

The Custodian Guard have stood watch over the Emperor's Palace on Terra since the foundation of the Imperium. Charged with protecting the Master of Mankind from all threats, within and without, their fearsome resolve is renowned throughout the galaxy, and their golden armour is the last thing that a would-be assassin or saboteur will ever see.

Alongside the Null-maidens of the Sisters of Silence, who are anathema to psykers and sorcerers alike, there is no threat to the Golden Throne that they alone cannot vanquish...until now.

It was amazing

The way of showing the accounts of each character was creative. The story was also amazing at bringing life into the characters and had me on the edge of my seat when the characters were threatened.

fantastic book with great voice actors.

great story and characters steeped in lore that you do not hear often. The language can get a bit stuffy but not overwelming.

Lore on Terra

One of the best views into not only the custodes but also Terra and the high lords themselves

Excellent story and narrators!

One of my favorite Warhammer books so far! I really enjoyed the three storylines and how they intersect! Great narrators too! More titles like this would be great!

Amazing work!

If I could I would have stood up and given Chris Wraight and the narrators a standing ovation. Absolutely brilliant in all fronts. I'm starting it ver immediately and I'm sure I'll pick up tons of things I missed.

Gromdark Romance Novel

it's a glorified romance novel but in the grimmest, darkest way possible. it's one of only a handful of books that contains information on some very specific Warhammer characters so if you like researching specific Warhammer characters then it's pretty great for that. Otherwise it's a pretty good novel but there is some information that one needs to know that I feel like is not presented properly for the average reader. I'm not sure because I'm very steeped in the fandom but it feels like some people might struggle to understand the full meaning of what's going on.
from a perspective on perspective it's really interesting that it focus is on a very old character a very young character and a practically ageless character. having a perspective from these three different people really helps flesh out the story and give better perspective in a more holistic manner than would otherwise be possible.

Well written and solid performances.

I use audiobooks to help me sleep, so it takes me a while to get to the end. This was a very good story and the performances were great.
