About this listen

Darkness approaches Dominicus Prime, a literal Season of Night that brings with it portents, madness and strange happenings. Standing alone as a beacon against the darkness is the Monastery of the Last Candle, a temple to the holy light of the Emperor. As the bishops and the cardinals vie for power and influence, a crisis looms among the Pilgrim Drift who are starving in their droves. Discord is rife, and there are whispers of a rising cult, one committed to blood and horror.

Into this political powder keg comes Inquisitor Covenant and his followers. Drawn to the shrineworld by the prescience of the Emperor's Tarot, they come seeking the agents of the Triumverate, a sect of Horusians bent on power themselves. It is the belief of Covenant that these radicals seek an incarnation, nothing less than a divine vessel, a living saint. To what end, he can only surmise, but Covenant knows it cannot bode well. He must deny the Horusians at any cost. The fate of the very sector may be determined by it.

Great story with a few hit and miss points in the middle but otherwise good

Good listen if a little rambling in the middle

as with the first the bits of the story I managed to follow were good. The performance was great. however, with my commuting and the intermittent listening, I really struggled to follow the full story.

enjoyed bits, but it's not o e for commuting / intermittent listening

I listen to these books to drift off to sleep. It's annoying to have to micromanage the volume system on this kindle. Is it the fault of the audible software?! Or the sound recording \ narrator but quiet quiet SHOUT GETS ANNOYING A BIT LIKE ALLCAPS. Or I guess CRaZy VaRiatiONS OF VOLumE It GetS A bIt AnnOYInG.

story has a few flickers of something interesting but I'm bit put off by all the gore and casual killing of interesting characters.

There is no God but chaos God's also gets a bit annoying. Within chaos there would be some champions of law. As well as chaos champions from other rival factions becoming accidental heroes.

The performance was good apart from volume variations.

Ending was disappointing wanted the underdog girl to have an empowered enlightenment moment of revenge tinged with mercy at the end.

Please no quiet quiet SHOUT

great second part to the story and slowly builds throughout, slightly disorienting switching between characters as it does listening to the story however once you get used to it you can feel the switch between plot points and characters and the story really drives home in the last third of the book, huge reveal at the end ! looking forward to the next installment!

great story can be a little disorienting

Covenant is probably the best inquisitor books I have read and the narration is superb, a lot of the twists are telegraphed but that did not detract from the overall story

Good second book
