The Chronicles of Malus Darkblade Book 1

Ambitious dark elf warrior Malus Darkblade leads an expedition into the dangerous Chaos Wastes, but finds far more than he had bargained for.

When Malus Darkblade learns the location of a powerful relic, he decides he wants it for himself. Malus leads an expedition into the dangerous Chaos Wastes in search of this great weapon but finds far more than he had bargained for. Possessed by a powerful daemon, he must undertake an epic quest to save his very soul.

Written by Dan Abnett and Mike Lee. Narrated by Andrew James Spooner. Running time is 11 hours and 12 minutes (approx).

Best at being the Worst

Malus Darkblade is is my favorite fantasy character, and these books are the favorite in my personal library. This is also the perfect voice actor, because he voices the Dark Elves in Skyrim on Solsthiem! I love it. Malus is the best at being the worst in a world full of vile characters and a nonstop satisfying storyline.

Thank you!

Whoever greenlit this series on Audible I can't thank you enough. This is the series that got me into Warhammer, and I'm so happy to be reliving it again. The story is great, and the VA is amazing! Really nails the voice of Malus and all his other voices make it easy to tell who is talking. Please continue the rest of the Series!

Best warhammer audible I've heard.

I'm not that good at writing good reviews I usually only do them if they are horrible. that said this is an amazing story.
the story is absolutely one of my top 5 now. I have finished maybe 50 black library (mostly 40k) books and maybe 8 audible ones.
the only real complaint is the gross cockney gutter snip Victorian type accent the reader decided to give a dark elf retainer. it was worse than nails on a chalk board. but thankfully he didn't have a lot of speaking roles. otherwise the story was 8. the characters as written were a 10. the reading besides the voices was a 7.5 and the only thing that is worth complaining about is the end of times was an awful choice getting rid of all the heroes to start a sub par new game system and mythos by the parent company : so spoiler alert- Malus eventually gets killed off for corporate reasons and it's gross. also that audible doesn't have the other 7 books on audible.

A Dark Classic

This book series is responsible for my fascination with Warhammer and Warhammer40k. I anxiously await for the release of the next books in this series!

Great classic from Warhammer

Finally I’ve had the opportunity to listen to this classic of Warhammer Fantasy. The story is epic and allows to discover the day-to-day life of the Dark Elves.

Exciting Epic

This is a great book that is exciting and fast paced it feels like many adventures and stories in and of themselves. I enjoyed learning so much about the cultures and world of Warhammer.
