As the Horus Heresy rages and the death toll rises, one more will be added to the numberless dead: Sibel Niasta, personal astropath to the First Lord of the Imperium, Malcador the Sigillite. As her end approaches, Malcador sits vigil by her bedside, and the pair discuss their friendship and what it means - how the past and present have shaped Malcador and the Imperium, and what the future holds.

My word man! This was amazing so much was confessed and the hurt in his voice while he spoke. Damn, I hope Malcador was telling the truth.

I love the implications yet the ambiguity in the intent. This short brilliant story is refreshing in setting and fast pace that really fleshes out the Sigillite.

Amazing audio drama!

Malcador speaks with one of his closest friends on her deathbed. As the conversation continues it is clear Malcador is opening up to her and instead of comforting her in her last moments he tries to convince himself it will all work out. A view into one of the most important characters in the imperium Malcador shows it all has not gone according to plan, yet he is ready for what awaits him.

You promised me it wouldn't be like this.

A short story but a must heard story. I love reading most of the Warhammer’s stories but this one elevates the story the the characters to a whole new dimension.

Short lived masterpiece

Short but worth every scarce minute. Definitely prefer this over the other Malcador story and it probably has more to offer even at a third the length.

Scalpel Perfection

Although less than 30 minutes, this short story has major ramifications for the entire 40k universe. Combined with great performances, every 40k fan should listen to this tale.
