Summary

An Officio Assassinorum story.

On the Knight World of Dominion, a Vindicare and a Callidus Assassin are tasked with eliminating a seditious leader and safely steering a pro-Imperial candidate to the throne.

Listen to it because....

Kingmaker shows the fascinating relationship between two very different temples of the Assassinorum, as two agents navigate the complex social hierarchy of a Knight World. The stakes are high and the pressure is on, for an Imperial war effort hinges on them executing their duty before disaster strikes.

The story:

The Officio Assassinorum safeguards the future of humanity. Its agents are the bloody-handed, secret saviours of the Imperium, killers charged with achieving the impossible...and Vindicare assassin Absolom Raithe has just been handed the most difficult assignment of his career.

The Knight World of Dominion is on the verge of seceding from the Imperium, its court riven by factionalism and ruled by an increasingly unhinged monarch. With the aid of the shapeshifting Callidus assassin Sycorax, Raithe must remove the king from his throne—and safely steer a pro-Imperial candidate to victory through the brutal succession crisis that will inevitably ensue. His team will need to infiltrate a world steeped in chivalric codes, where every move risks discovery and every threat pilots an adamantine monster...for if the assassins fail, and Dominion falls, the entire sector will be plunged into darkness.

Great listen

Highly recommended.

Unlike any other 40K book I’ve listened too; it’s great, the voice actor does an amazing job

Loved it

Robert has done a fantastic job, can't wait for another one of his books. This book alone converted me to a knights and Assassins fan

Kingmaker ?

I won’t give spoilers but the story goes a lot deeper than that, political machinations within the Assassinorum make me think my job prospects lie elsewhere 😳 I am not a Knights fan but enjoyed learning the lore and history of these buffoons (and they are) the ending leaves it open to continue….. let’s hope BL let Robert Rath write it

Couldn't put it down!

Cinematic, full of intrigue and humour, Rath has done it again! I hope this becomes a series as I need to see where it ends up.

One of the best black library books I’ve read

Fantastic story, good range of characters, nice to see knights being knights and giving them a bit of depth.

Double-Oh Cool.

This felt like a mashup between all the covert ops movies I loved with added 40k. And Knights.

One of my favourite 40k books so far

Amazing read, I'd recommend it to everyone.
Robert Rath has done an amazing job, building an interesting world and great characters.
Now I will 100% have to pick up some Assassin/Knoght miniatures...
