Publisher's summary
A Warhammer Horror novel.
Ashielle Matkosen, new Lord Governor of Ceocan, discovers a horrific secret in a vault beneath her father’s palace - a blasphemous living weapon. Forming an ancient pact with it may avenge her father’s death - but at the cost of her soul.
Listen to it because:
Deals with daemons aren't exactly rare in the 41st millennium - but the nature of this one, and the terrors it inflicts, will shock and surprise you.
The story:
With the death of Ruprekt Matkosen, his daughter, Ashielle, is now the Lord Governor of Ceocan. Her father’s murderers still lurk in the shadows, threatening not only her rule but every mortal soul under her protection. Even her own people cannot be trusted - any one of them may be part of the poisonous plot to destroy her bloodline.
Deep beneath the palace, locked away from all human contact, Ashielle finds a weapon unlike any other: a monster, more adept at hunting in the darkness than any assassin. Allying with such a horror is surely blasphemy, but with doom skulking around every corner, Ashielle is forced to revive an ancient pact with the beast. Yet she soon discovers that her family’s mortal enemies are not the only evil that hungers to consume her.
Written by J C Stearns. Narrated by Katy Maw.

Exalting war and art in harmony, the warrior-artisans of the Angels Resplendent have forged a radiant haven amidst a blighted galaxy. But an ancient sin stains their honour - a wound in their world that will never heal. Ignorant souls would call it a forest, but those who watch over it know better. Nothing natural grows in the Reverie’s snow-swept glades or wanders amongst the unnatural things that do, save for the intruders who trespass on its pain. Some seek revelation or redemption, others dream of winning a place amongst the Resplendent, but all come because they must.

In the midst of a vast gas nebula lies a remote watch-station, hanging silently against a tapestry of dying stars. It sits alone, patiently awaiting lost travellers adrift in the freezing vastness of the void. To such souls it appears as a blessing, a safe haven from the warp storms that wrack the immaterium and destroy the ships of those foolish enough to test the tides. To Captain Arq and her crew, it is one thing - refuge. But things are never so simple.

But the way to the Throne will be hard as the primarch Rogal Dorn, the Praetorian and protector of Terra, marshals the defences.

And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

It sits alone, patiently awaiting lost travellers adrift in the freezing vastness of the void.

To Captain Arq and her crew, it is one thing - refuge. But things are never so simple.

Hmmmmm I was wondering.
I have read many reviews on this story for months. I have delayed buying it because of the sorry reviews. I have read it too politically driven, not scary, and just boring from some reviews.
My question is what were they complaining about. The narrator is amazing! She covers make and monster voices perfectly. They fear is interesting because it is almost like a horror movie in that you may guess what is next and you may get it wrong . The creator is wickedly interesting. I’m not saying that you’re going to be amazed as I am/ was but I definitely recommend this story because it is a power struggle and sometimes your enemies are very closer than you know. Remember that the Warhammer universe is a depressing and morbid situation. The fun of it is that’s why we love these stories! Buy it and enjoy!

Slow for a good chunk of time.
I really enjoyed House of Night and Chain, so I tried this one, but unfortunately it didn't hold up. This is the first offering from Warhammer Horror that I didn't fully enjoy.
It bogged down in details that didn't matter and didn't add to the story. If you want a lot of political intrigue in a sci fi setting, then you will really like this book. I found myself losing interest in parts, which is unfortunate since I love the 40k setting.
After thinking about it for a bit, I'm not sure I'd call this a horror story. Pretty much all the elements in this book have been in other novels; there's plenty of ghastly places in 40k and HH. Also, the character didn't seem to go through too much soul searching when they did what they did. There was no anguish in their action more like, "oh well", and very little remorse.
The narrator was very good, so no issue there, just a dull story.

Came for the horror, stayed for the intrigue.
Requires more in-depth 40k awareness, but blends the grimdark and horror rather nicely. A surprisingly good first entry into Warhammer horror from part of the 40k universe that I didn't expect to see focused on so soon.

Much better then the other rewiers would suggest.
I have 2 negative things to say, it ended to fast/no followup story, and the Voice Actor clearly doesn't know how to pronounce some 40k words, example: Are bait ies is pronounced as Are bee teas.
Not horror, more xenos thriller that grows more malicious.
If you enjoyed Book Keepers Skull, then you will like this one much more. ;)
Would recommend, and will definitely hear again!
MINOR SPOILER.
No Dark Eldar or Chaos is involved. (People often forget there are darker forces in 40k then chaos)

Great book, not a horror novel
Characters are well-written, and the author tries to make the story as scary as possible. It’s more politics and character development than horror or bolter porn. I honestly recommend it, as it plays to the strengths of the 40k universe while being it’s own story.

Nice "Monster in the Dark" Story.
If I have any criticism, it's that the story is a little short. Great characters and characterization. The narrator does a fantastic job and really gives each character their own "feel" Highly recommended for Black Library Horror Story.
