About this listen

The Chronicles of Malus Darkblade Book 1

Ambitious dark elf warrior Malus Darkblade leads an expedition into the dangerous Chaos Wastes, but finds far more than he had bargained for.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

Adapted and expanded from the classic graphic novel, the saga of the most ambitious, treacherous and downright sneaky dark elf around (and that's saying something!) begins here.

THE STORY

When Malus Darkblade learns the location of a powerful relic, he decides he wants it for himself. Malus leads an expedition into the dangerous Chaos Wastes in search of this great weapon but finds far more than he had bargained for. Possessed by a powerful daemon, he must undertake an epic quest to save his very soul.

Written by Dan Abnett and Mike Lee. Narrated by Andrew James Spooner. Running time is 11 hours and 12 minutes (approx).

As good as Warhammer fiction gets. The narration is top class, exactly as you would expect Malus to sound.

Great story, superb narration

Great story

This was amazing. Lately every villain is an anti-hero, but not in this story, darkblade is evil till the end. This what grim dark is truly all about. A must read for fantasy and warhammer fans alike

Warhammer fantasy at its best!!
