About this listen
A Warhammer 40,000 Novel
A Wolf Priest is tasked by Ulrik the Slayer to recover an ancient relic of the Chapter – a chance for him to write his own legendary saga.
LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE
Ivar Krakenblood is a Space Wolves hero in the making. But first he must learn that those who seek glory in place of destiny – and an end worthy of the sagas – never find what they yearn for.
THE STORY
All sagas begin with blood.
Born upon the ice world of Fenris, Ivar Krakenblood has been raised to stand as one of its warrior sons, anointed to serve as a Wolf Priest. Life and death are his to give, and Ivar has proven his worth with deed and word. Still, the glory of true legend has always escaped him.
On a quest given to him by Ulrik the Slayer himself, Ivar seizes the chance to recover a lost relic of the Space Wolves Chapter and challenge the fates themselves. With a band of warriors, old comrades, and new allies, he sets out to forge his own path, one worthy of a son of Russ.
Yet those who strive to change their destiny must often pay a terrible price. There are forces that lurk in the darkness, seeking to sever him from his fate.
In the short story Price of Morkai, a Wolf Priest must deliver a fallen brother's geneseed back to the Space Wolves Chapter, while reflecting on his battle as a Blood Claw with the great Fenrisian beast responsible.

©2025 Games Workshop Limited (P)2025 Games Workshop LimitedUnfortunately the narrator for this book tried too hard, and his delivery was slow and as a result it meant the story had no real flow or impetus, which made it hard to follow when there was fight sequences as there was little to no urgency in the narration.
Otherwise the story isn't bad, and on reading it I quite enjoyed it, but I probably wont re-listen to the audio book whereas books like Lucas the Trickster I have listened to multiple times, and always enjoy the story as the narrator pulls you into the story.
I would suggest either a re-do with the narrator and the pace of the narration increased, especially around the fight sequences or this may have to be given to an alternative narrator otherwise it will go down as a book which can be read for enjoyment, but not listened to - which would be a shame.
