A Warhammer Age of Sigmar Novel

Heldanarr Fall just wants to be left in peace in Aqshy, but the gleaming golden warriors of Sigmar won’t let him be. So he fights back – and draws upon a more primal power...

Listen to it because...

This is a Mortal Realms story with a twist – a virtuous man succumbs to the path of darkness, and wages a war against Sigmar.

The story:

Heldanarr Fall dreams of a world without gods.

When the Azyrites descended upon the Burning Valley – a kingdom carved from the Aqshian desert – they brought arrogance and cruelty with their riches, and a god who seemed blind to it all. Despite harrowing losses, Held clung to his people’s ways, forging a new existence without a single prayer to the armoured deity, Sigmar.

Now, all Held wants is solitude. But after saving a Sigmarite priestess from violent death, her troubles catch up to them and destroy the last of his peace. First broken, then enraged, he launches a brutal war of vengeance against Sigmar’s worshippers, and soon finds himself thrust against the Stormcast Eternals, led by the cunning strategist Ildrid Stormsworn.

Alone, he cannot hope to win, yet surrender would mean accepting the mercy of a god he despises. To defeat the Stormcasts and avenge his fate, Held must embrace older, darker powers that risk the very freedom for which he fights. But when Sigmar's rulers are tyrants and the Champions of Chaos prove worthy, which path is the most righteous? And once this choice is made, who will Heldanarr Fall become?

Chaos at it finest

It's a great read, memorable moments, and heavily story focus compared to action, its moments.

Excellent, hoping for a sequel

Great listen, loved this exploration of the corruption of the mortal realms and fall to chaos. Fun ending

Best of Age of Sigmar Chaos

Great character development and insight into one man's journey with the temptation of chaos. a great story with no clear heroes

So much detail!

It’s awesome to see the rise of a chaos warlord in the mortal realms. I really liked all the little details of the different tribes and cultures in Aqshy!

Pretty Good

If you want a good way to get into a Slaves to Darkness army, this is a pretty good hype book

It’s good

Book slaps, Sigmar stinks, skull taker or skull, the big man, stormcast homies out here

Good story, interesting ending.

The Good:
- The book has a much different feel than most other AOS books, more brooding and dark.
- Excellent narration; this narrator is fast becoming my second favorite VA behind Keeble.
The Middling(neither good or bad, just observations):
- A LOT of girl power in this one, especially with the main characters dommy-mommy Gf.
- The main character is a badass one man army from the get-go, and it is never explained how that happened.
The Bad:
- Quite a long book. While I do enjoy getting more bang for my buck, I feel this book could lose about 15-20% of its mass and still have a coherent story.
- The character is seemingly oblivious to chaos in general and the corruption happening around him all the time.

Overall quite an enjoyable experience, better than most of the Sigmar books I have listened to. Would recommend.

Rage Against the Machine

Finally a good Black Library book about Chaos.
For some reason the writers portray chaos so much better in this setting then they do in the Horus Heresy and 40K setting.
A great tale about oppression and revolution, also Stormcast are so much more dynamic and interesting than space marines, a great book to showcase that.

Great

Really enjoyed this one. Lots of twists and turns that keep you guessing until the end.

Really unique perspective within AOS

While this story may start out a little slow it masterfully takes a unique perspective of a native of the wilds in the realm of fire and brings you along the twist and turns of his ascension through his path to glory. Anyone who plays or likes the Slaves to Darkness faction in AOS will adore this book. Noah Nguyen did an amazing job and some of his lines are absolutely striking. Definitely in my top 5 Black Library books.
