A Warhammer Quest Audiobook
When a series of vicious murders rock the vampire-ruled city of Ulfenkarn, an unlikely group of heroes - a vampire hunter, a vigilante, a wizard and a soldier - must discover the truth even as the city's dread ruler takes to the streets and the bloodletting increases.
Listen to It Because
Delve into the dungeons beneath the city of Ulfenkarn and discover the story behind the board game in this tale of thrilling adventure.
The Story
Ulfenkarn is a city of nightmares. Its vampiric rulers have indulged their bloodlust in every shadow-clad alley, turning the once-proud metropolis into a charnel house. Already crushed beneath the tyranny of Radukar the Wolf and his Thirsting Court, a spate of vicious murders plunges the mortal inhabitants into fresh terror. Emerging to uncover a connection between the attacks is an unlikely group of heroes: a vampire hunter from Carstinia; a slum-born vigilante; a ruthless wizard; and a soldier who is the last survivor of her noble bloodline. Arrayed against them are the undead monsters that thrive upon Radukar's gory regime. But a daring search for answers turns into a fight for survival when the Wolf himself descends his Ebon Citadel and joins the carnage in the streets....

The narrator did a good job in making the characters interesting.
I would only recommend this book to people that play the boardgame.
Narrator saved this one.

This was a great sampling of the governing actions and impact of the undead and a few exceptional champions. Worth a read (listen) if you enjoy Warhammer lore, and a fun mystery.
4 stars because it felt a bit repetitive at periods throughout.
Great Worldbuilding

That’s about all it’s good for though. If I were to have read it with no intention of playing the game, I would have found it somewhat bizarre, unexplained and woefully unfinished (because, of course, this is presumably only supposed to be the first half of the story, while the game is the other half).
Coupled with that, it suffers from the same problems many Black Libary books do, in that there’s more fighting than actual story and ends up being like listening to a late ‘90s death metal song: ‘gore, blood, flesh, stench, more gore, more blood’. Never heard the word ‘visage’ so many times in so few hours hour. Just another average writer trying to sound more eloquent than he might be, to the point a lot of the flowery language sounds forced and overdone.
As I say though, those are problems I find with many Black Library novels though so if you usually don’t mind their style, you’ll probably be fine with this one.
Otherwise, if you intend to play, or are already playing, the Cursed City board game, definitely give this one a go. Really helps to shed a lot of light onto where it’s set, what’s going on and why.
If you’re not going to play the game though, perhaps not so worth it.
Worth it if you’re interested in the board game.

To my relief, this is a story that takes place before the events in the board game. It actually tells the story of Emelda Braskov and her adventures before she teamed up with Jelsen Darrock, Brutogg Corpse-Eater, Glaurio ven Allen III and etc.
What’s cool about the book is how it fleshes out what Ulfenkarn is like on the street level, and what it’s citizens go through on a daily basis. It’s also cool that Radukar, the main antagonist, is actually very active in the story and not just in the background
What I didn’t quiet expect is it read more like a detective novel with both the heroes AND villains trying to solve a series of mysterious murders, instead of the main sorry of freeing the city of Radukar’s tyranny. Even Radukar himself seemed more like Sherlock Holmes rather than an evil lord!
It’s a strange storytelling angle. And oddly, my favorite character ended up being Radukar. Not Emelda or her small band of heroes and vigilantes. He just had so much more personality and depth.
All in all, it wasn’t a bad audiobook but one that could have been so much better. I enjoyed it overall.
Not the story I expected
