Resumen del Editor

A Warhammer 40,000 novel.

Follow the exploits of Oltyx, who, having finally been granted the throne of the Ithakas Dynasty, now faces far greater threats, from within and without. He soon learns that the lessons of kingship are not quite what he had hoped.

Listen to it because: experience the tumultuous reality of ruling a necron royal court and battling the the Imperium from the perspective of an necron lord whose mind is split into discrete partitions.

The story: after centuries of exile, the necron lord Oltyx has at last been granted the thing he has always craved: the throne of the Ithakas Dynasty. Kingship, however, is not quite what he had hoped for - Oltyx's reign currently exists aboard the dying battleship Akrops, as it lumbers away from the ruins of his crownworld. Behind it is a hostile armada of unfathomable size, launched by the barbaric alien war-cult known as the Imperium of Man. And within the Akrops' sepulchral hold, an even greater threat festers - the creeping horror of the flayer curse. Faced with such overwhelming odds, Oltyx leads a desperate voyage into a darkness so profound that salvation and doom look much the same. If he and his dynasty are to make it through that long night, Oltyx will have to become a very different sort of king.

Written by Nate Crowley. Narrated by Richard Reed.

The most human robots

A story about an ever dwindling kingdom has it's pitfalls, but is still pretty good

Great Story

Can’t wait to see what else comes of this, the last few chapters had me gasping and tearing up a bit.

I cryed in the best way

I was not expecting the book to be this good so good can not recommend.

Chef Kiss

I absolutely loved this series, and I hope it turns into a trilogy. I didn't know how this would follow the masterpiece that is Ruin but the madman did it.

A story of rising from the ashes of tragedy

A fantastic story digging into the inner workings of Necrons. truthfully, the story became quite depressing at some points throughout, to the point that I put it down for a few months, wanting to pick it back up when I was in a better headspace. The destination of this story IS worth the harrowing journey that unfolds.

starts slow ends epic

It was a bit frustrating at first actual 3/4th of the story is one long tale of dred. But when you realize who oltex is, or was the whole time, your heart leaps for joy at the fact you just met the flayed king ! I hope there is a 3rd!

This was incredibly satisfying to listen to

listening to this book was like the second course in a 3 course meal. I loved it

A rather unexpected turn of events!

A wonderfully crafted sequel that, while seemed formulaic at first, defied all of my expectations by the end of the read! If you think you know what’s going to happen, then enjoy the tale

Not as good as Ruin, but still excellent

The story isn’t QUITE as good as Ruin, but still excellent. 100% a must listen for any Necron fan.

Twice dead rebirth

A story to see the madness and the weight of a crown, and what it takes to rule an eternal empire to rule the stars. A road to redemption.
