About this listen

A Cado Ezechiar Novel

In his first full-length novel, the vampiric anti-hero Cado Ezechiar finds himself caught in a web of war and deceit in the city of Aventhis.

Listen to it because

The cold-hearted Cado Ezechiar is obsessed with revenge and keeping to his strict moral code—can he stay true to himself and avenge those who he has lost?

The story

Cado Ezechiar is a wanderer who has outlived the memory of the age that made him. A Soulblight vampire who accepted the curse as his people and kingdom fell to Chaos, he now roams the Realm of Death and beyond seeking retribution and salvation for the ones he failed.

Aided by the bound spirits of those he lost, Cado follows a path of revenge, hunting the servants of Chaos to slake his need for blood while seeking the Sorcerer of Change who destroyed his kingdom. When his hunt leads him to the free city of Aventhis, Cado becomes caught up in the machinations of greater powers—beings who see the city and its people as dust in the eyes of ambitious gods. Torn between his code of honour and his desire for vengeance, Cado must navigate a web of war and deceit, or lose everything.

It was a great slow burn and the way the story laid out kept up the pace enough to be thoroughly enjoyable. Another great job for the voice acting in this one as well!

Great story!

A fantastic listen that keeps you engaged throughout. you quickly come to realize that Cado is basically just a fantasy version of Batman. that's not a bad thing as Cado is written in a really interesting and fun way.

Non-Spoiler mostly gushing. I’d tell you all it’s a great read with amazing pacing! The intense moments are incredibly so and the more human moments feel sincere. I love that we seem to have an amazing and interesting anti-hero for the vampires/Soulblight and I will definitely be impatiently waiting for any further stories with The Hollow King. Couldn’t stop until it was over it was so damn good seriously folks.

Best AoS Vampire Character and Narrative

This was a great way to bring Vampires into Age of Sigmar and the character himself was quite interesting. The point of view of the Lumineth being bad was also a nice thing to see. Books that can make what is to be speculated as the good people look bad always really put a smile on my face. Twisting that always makes for a good story.
