About this listen

The Custodian Guard have stood watch over the Emperor's Palace on Terra since the foundation of the Imperium. Charged with protecting the Master of Mankind from all threats, within and without, their fearsome resolve is renowned throughout the galaxy, and their golden armour is the last thing that a would-be assassin or saboteur will ever see.

Alongside the Null-maidens of the Sisters of Silence, who are anathema to psykers and sorcerers alike, there is no threat to the Golden Throne that they alone cannot vanquish...until now.

custodes and sisters of silence go to war and we hear about the goings on in the Palace and the High Lords of Terra

long time fan of 40k

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
A combination of a well-paced plot, excellent exposition of character and world building as well as some excellent voice acting makes this one of the best novels to come out of The Gathering Storm period of 40K Imperium history.

Not surprised at all that it spawned a sequel!

Thoughtful and engaging
