Publisher's summary

Since the dark days of the Great Awakening, the scattered remnants of humanity have clung to a bleak existence, surviving howsoever they can, no matter what the cost. 

Tamra, a voivode of the Rictus clans, fights one last, desperate battle for the survival of her tribe, the Drak. Now her people face their most relentless enemy ever - the lumbering minions of the Plague God. Where is their lord Nagash, the Undying King, when his people need him most? As the gods and their servants vie for power in the Mortal Realms, Tamra is drawn into a deadly game between life and death, as beings long thought gone start to exert their powers once again.

Nice to heard a story not about the Stormcast

Amazing book, I always love when they focus on a story separate of the Stormcast.

Great to listen to.

Great AoS book that really describes the Necroquake and gives a great inside into the world of Nagash.

Needs more Arkhan. Interesting antagonist.

Arkhan the Black is the best character in the realm of death. Neferrata was fun too. I wanted more from the story and Nagash, it felt underwhelming for a self titled book to not show him more. There was more road to use with the life and death narrative. Narrator had amazing range and skill.

Great AoS Story

The narrator, Emma Gregory. really nailed the characters in this book! look forward to seeing more from her.

Another amazing Josh Reynolds book. I can see me buying all his books.

perfect for anyone that loves the mortal realms, especially Shyish and Nagash & his mortarchs.

It was ok.

Half of it was nagash giving himself a pep talk. at least the nurgle invaders made things interesting.

A good tale

The story is really great. Like most black library books it could use a heavy editing job to cut out repetitive and unnecessary adjectives. The performance by Emma Gregory was exceptional!

Could be great

Good story with good characters.
I was hoping for more of an origin story for Nagash and he was barely in the book. story mostly revolves around his servants and a 30min Nagash cameo at the end

I want more stories like this

It is always a treat to hear stories about characters during a time such as the Age of Chaos. I loved the concept of human civilizations hosting non evil necromancers and I want more of them. Great voice acting! Emma Gregory is perfect in other stories about Nefarata.

Not what i was expecting

For a Nagash book, Nagash featured very little in the book and this felt more like a Neferata book. Don't get me wrong, it's enjoyable enough, but i was really expecting an extension of the older Nagash books which this really didnt feel like.

Excellent book

really good story about the bgod of the dead, and those who serve him, willing or not. Also, using some chill nurglite knights as the main antagonists made both side of the story interesting. Whilst you might not be rooting for chaos, (and aren't intended too), their viewpoint is via the sort of madman who you could get on with, if you could get over the smell. Also, for those who know Nagash from the old world, neither being mad nor dead seem to have made him less... Nagashy, and he concludes the story with a move that's definitely reminiscent of Nagash the necromancer, whilst being totally appropriate for Nagash the god. Other points: Solid narration, with distinctive voices for characters and the narrator, making both pleasurable and easy to listen to. Pretty good sense of it being grounded in a specific area, and its call outs to wider AoS law certainly don't hit you in the face with Ghal Maraz (though it does help to know what a sylvaneth physically is beforehand, but certainly won't break the story if you don't know anything but 'tree people')

Nagash gets miffed

The forces of Nurgle and Nagash clash. The story is better then the sun of its parts, mostly because Nagash is so cool. No real protagonist you can get behind -they try the usual tricks to make you care about the lead but she falls flat for me, and all the Nurgle forces get "popped like zits" which gets repetitive.
Is it me or do Warhammer storys slow down the recording (to stretch out the run time?). I run my Kindle playback at +30% and that just sounds normal speech speed. I wish they would stop it.

Good story about the army of Nurgle and the undead

I am new to warhammer and am fascinated by Nagash so decided to give this a read. Having finished it, I learnt a lot about the army of Nurgle a bit about about the undead and Vampires.

I was a bit underwhelmed though with how the story touches on Nagash. It’s just enough to begin to understand him but always cuts off and deprives you of getting any satisfactory understanding of him. Almost like the night king from game of thrones (the series) where so much is built up around him and you get teasers here and there but by the end of it you still don’t understand much about him.

decent i guess

frankly zoned out for half of the book. good writing from parts i did hear, but emma gregory's voice just didnt feel right for many of these undead characters, making my mind wander instead of listening. sadly could not keep me captivated like jonathan keeble, john banks and richard reed always accomplishes

Brilliant story, excellent narration

This is an amazing story of horrific battles and politicking with vivid, dour descriptions of the world and the people that fight to survive in it. Highly recommended

An enjoyable but not impactful

It was great to hear conflict between forces of Nurgle and the Undead. There never seemed to be much danger though. I never felt for our main characters or doubted that they would infact make it out ok. The conflict felt like it was over before it started and only a few tribal humans risked anything. Nagash makes an appearance but ultimately the story isn't about him. He may be at risk but that seems like a very, very small risk that never even comes close to happening.
