Narrated by: Jonathan Keeble

Of the many champions of Chaos, none are as great or as feared as mighty Archaon. He is the Everchosen, Exalted Grand Marshal of the Apocalypse and Ender of Worlds, and it is a worthy warrior indeed who can fight by his side. Such Knights of Ruin are known as the Varanguard. Only by answering the call of Archaon can a warrior of Chaos ascend to their ranks, and acceptance is never guaranteed, for their mettle must first be proven.

In this dark tale, three fell champions of the Chaos Gods all heed the call of the Everchosen. Each desires the ultimate prize: to become part of the Varanguard. But where one is chosen, others will fail, for Archaon's will is cruel and his trials exacting....

A very intriguing perspective

This novel focuses on chaos side of the story. And though it might bee confusing at the start one soon sees the connection, 'the call'. Following a few potentials through their hours and fears was an very interesting point of view.

Sigmar the coward.

After listening to this, I see no hope for Sigmar. Chaos, remains strong. Great work.

A nice change of pace

The collection of shot shorties and anthology setting is a nice change from the first few books in the series and the switching to the chaos perspective is also a welcome change

More, please!

I can't get enough of Age of Sigmar lore. Please put out the last half of the Relm Gate Wars!

First book from Chaos' view

This is the first book in the series that is entirely in the viewpoint of Chaos. It follows 3 separate characters and transitions well between them. Even though I'm a Stormcast player and prefer their stories, this was a nice change of pace.
