Book two in the Bequin series

Alizebeth Bequin's world has been turned upside-down. Now she must choose who she will follow as Inquisitors Eisenhorn and Ravenor battle to discover the secrets at the heart of Queen Mab.

Listen to it because

The latest chapter in Dan Abnett's Inquisition saga is here, and it's packed with shocking twists and stunning revelations that will change the way you look at the Warhammer 40,000 universe forever.

The story

In the mysterious city of Queen Mab, the forces of light and darkness are locked in a murderous struggle for truth. The dedicated agents of the Holy Inquisition battle with their shadowy counterparts, the infamous Cognitae, to discover the encrypted identity of the enigmatic, all-powerful King in Yellow. Caught at the heart of this struggle is the pariah Alizebeth Bequin. Will she stand with the Inquisition or with the Cognitae that raised her? And if she chooses the Inquisition, will it be the wise but ruthless Ravenor or his rival, the denounced heretic Eisenhorn? Bequin must withstand an onslaught of angels, daemons, and even the monstrous warriors of the Traitor Legions, to unpick the greatest riddle of her life.

The beloved characters of Eisenhorn and Ravenor return, as implaccable adversaries in a novel of esoteric mystery, macabre intrigue, and vivid action, where the revelation of true identity could mean death...or might shake the Imperium to its very foundations.

What a rollacoster of emotion....

I love Dan Abnett's writing style and stories, and in general i love this book too, but the plot really goes to hell in a handbasket in the last 2-3 chapters and seems to have crawled so far up the 40k universes ass as to be looking out between the Emperor's teeth.... Meaning 5-6 traitor legion, 4-5 loyal chapters, the eldar, AND the castodies have been dragged screaming into the plot... The last book might change my mind, but the last chapter of this book made me very, very worried about where it is going.... We look to be going past belaserious cawl levels of stupid plot

the plot thickens

This is a herald of big things to come in the Warhammer 40k universe. Enough said, enjoy the listening.

Absolutely stunning

just the right amount of plot twist. just the right amount of intrigue. just the right amount of people gettin' there heads bashed in.

Sequel might be better than the first

I'm not joking. Dan Abnett is a master storyteller and the voice actress is simply amazing. It is the same actress as in Pariah and her ability to give the characters unique sounding voices is astounding. I had no trouble finishing this book because just as in Pariah the pacing is great and the setting imagery is engrossing. If you enjoyed Pariah or other Dan Abnett books this is a must read/listen.

Abnett at his best

Dan Abnett is one of GW’s best authors and that is really on display in this series. He manages to write well rounded interesting characters in an engaging story without resorting to tired tropes or lazy writing. Helen Keeley is the icing on the cake. She does an absolutely fantastic job of capturing the characters she is reading. I will be seeking out more books that she has voiced.

Dan Abnett is incredible. Black Library are lucky to have him on board. Two more.

EPIC

I recently slogged through the whole Eisenhorn/Ravenor/Bequin series. it had many ups and downs but how it all is being tied together in this book... a MUST read for Warhammer 40k fans

What an ending!

Amazing. Absolutely within top-five 40k books of all time. Dan Abnett tops himself again.

What a great book. Cannot wait for part three! Can they stop the king in yellow?
