About this listen

A Warhammer Age of Sigmar Audiobook

Abraxia, the champion of Archaon, has taken the Phoenicium. The city of Blackpyre – a nightmare realm of torment – has risen in its place, and she must now choose how to rule it.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

Taking power is one thing, but holding onto it is quite another. Take a look at what the followers of Chaos must do to rule over their subjects, and discover what it means to live when you're both stubbornly ambitious and utterly doomed.

THE STORY

The Phoenicium, City of Rebirth, has been razed. From its ashes Blackpyre rises, its conqueror standing at the apex of her power.

As a new era of strife dawns across the Realm of Life, Abraxia – the pitfighter who became Archaon's champion – must prove her mastery over the numerous conspiracies that would see her dark citadel destroyed and her downfall realised.

But there is potential in such turmoil, such that she was born to master. For Abraxia is the Varanspire's prodigal daughter, wielder of accursed Gorbolga, the Spear of the Everchosen. In her hands, it is the implement with which she will write the fate of Blackpyre, and carve a new branch into the Path to Glory.

Written by Chris Thursten. Narrated by Antonia Beamish. Runtime 7 hours and 56 minutes approx.

Really enjoyed this book but there was parts that felt very confusing and rushed in my opinion involving me to rewind to try and understand.

Apart from that it’s a great book. If you are a slaves to darkness fan this is a fab book for you

A good solid chaos book. Tho it was a little confusing

Another fun reminder as to why the villains are often more interesting than the ostensible heroes.

The level of evil is suitably high here, where the constant rivalries make for lots of natural tension and fun bickering, where even the slightest hints of fondness or respect feel like loving kisses on the mouth. Abraxia herself is great; the nature of her cursed psyche making for lovely twists and turns as to her thoughts and actions. It's a book that definitely did it's work on me as by the end I was considering a Slaves to Darkness army with Abraxia at its head (still am.. decisions, decisons..) That said, my favourite has to be Brygha Hellhewer, whose story has one of the best moments in the story.

Well written, climaxes nicely and Lots of serious implications for further stories. A strong debut for Abraxia as a character, and a much appreciated look into life for those on the path to glory.

First off, the narration is excellent. Antonia has a great character range and a lot of gravitas. I, too, very much enjoyed the characters being portrayed and the way the manifestations of Chaos are used are both creative and well-fitting for a story that takes place on the furthest end of the "Path to Glory."

I do feel like it's a book that might need a re-listen at some point, though, as the segments where the protagonist's wildly differing split personalities take over without much warning get a little disorienting. I appreciate the stylistic choice, but as someone who primarily listens to audiobooks while performing other tasks at work, I found myself havng to rewind a lot as it's not the easiest narrative device to digest passively.

Very interesting!
