Publisher's summary

A Chaos Space Marines Novel

The Horus Heresy is over. The World Eaters are leaderless and their greatest hero is in a coma. Poised on the brink of destruction, the Legion needs Khârn—but will his awakening save them or spell their doom?

Listen because...Khârn is one of the most iconic figures in the Warhammer 40,000 setting, the epitome of Khorne's mortal servants. In this story, you can witness his transition from the World Eaters Captain of the Horus Heresy to the blood-mad betrayer feared across the 41st Millennium.

The story: the Horus Heresy is over. The traitor Legions have scattered, fleeing the wrath of a vengeful Imperium. The World Eaters are leaderless, their primarch missing and their greatest hero, Khârn, locked in a coma. The surviving Legionaries have turned upon themselves, their Butcher's Nails driving them to ever-greater acts of berserk savagery. Poised on the brink of destruction, the Legion needs direction. It needs someone to rally around. It needs Khârn—but will his awakening save them, or doom them entirely?

Written by Anthony Reynolds. Read by Richard Reed.

Great look at the 12th legion

A good look at what happens after the siege of Terra.
You get a look inside the World Eaters, before they have succumbed entirely to the worship of Khorn.

A great story!

It was a great story I loved every minute of it! the narrator is good as always! the only complaint is I wish there was more kharn but his appearance in the story was well done

A misunderstood story

People are downrating this because they say Kharn doesn't show up until halfway through the story. While this is true, that isn't the point of the story. The story is really about the beginning of the end of the World Eaters as a unified Legion. And while Kharn is unconscious for most of the story, when he finally wakes up, he makes up for the absence by winning with charisma. I recommend this.

The Final Moments of Sanity

Kharn is by far one of tge few Chaos characters you feel bad for. This novel focuses on what he and the World Eaters experience before the Betrayl of Kharn and who he gets his name. It is a final glimpse at a warrior whom before his fall was an honorable and skilled warrior. I recommend this for lovers of 40k lore and want a glimpse of a character before a major turn in their arc.

Better than I thought it would be

Enjoyed the characters and the narration was pretty good too, Kharn proved to be more clever than previous stories I've heard him in.

Great post heresy novel for the 12th legion

A great look at the 12th legion shortly after the scouring, covering Kharns resurrection after his defeat by Sigusmund.

Decent fluff, but its not really Kharn's story

A nice slice of the scouring, covering the brief gap between the end of the siege of terra and scallathrax. Adds some more character depth to the WE, which is always a good thing.

however kharn is largely absent. if you know that going into the story you'll appreciate it more

Skulls for the skull throne

Though slow to start at first, it picks up quickly if your a world eaters fan you will love this book, great building of atmosphere, great voice acting, good balance of story and action.

I want more

Great study of Kharn post HH especially compared to him with Argel Tal in the book Betrayer. Unfortunately the ending just makes us want more if you know the lore implications at the end. This book is the story of Kharn's final dive into the abyss so to speak of Khorn's madness.

Great World Eater lore

An awesome look into the World Eaters post Seige. Also a look into the man himself Kharn.
