Publisher's summary

An Aeldari audio drama.

Tasked with a vital mission for Eldrad Ulthran and Primarch Guilliman, Yvraine and her Ynnari head to a place of great power: the Black Library itself.

Listen to it because:

It's the first Aeldari-based Warhammer 40,000 fiction to take place after the Gathering Storm and sees the Ynnari on a mission that will aid both their race and mankind's Imperium in the darkest of days.

The story:

Fell is the Hand of Darkness, a relic of great evil. Seeking to rob the powers of Chaos of this relic and bend fate to the favour of order, Yvraine of the Ynnari and the mysterious yet deadly Visarch lead a host of Aeldari on a quest to steal it. To reach it, however, they must first beseech the aid of the Black Library. Only then will Yvraine and her warriors have even the slightest chance to slip through the Garden of Nurgle and from there to the Plague Planet and the Whispering Tower of Mortarion, where the Hand of Darkness surely resides.

I hope all audiobooks start copying audiobook way.

Multiple voice actors (idk what they are called), reading this out together? I wish they would do this for all audiobooks!

Space elf magic!

But demon seagulls are the most British thing I've heard of! Definitely worth a listen, but don't expect the best slice of lore.

Yannari revealed.

It had an abrupt ending, but it gave us an insight into the Yannari purpose and into Yvraine herself. Still one of the better Eldar stories.

I absolutely enjoy the story, mostly because each main character has they own voice. I really wish this would become standart for most audioble.

A nice little treat

I enjoyed this novel, or more or less, audio drama, but it is too short.
