The Last Volari

Warhammer Age of Sigmar

By: Gary Kloster

Narrated by: Amy Rockson, Fiona Skinner

A Soulblight Gravelords Novel

A doomed vampire faces down the nature of her curse, and the righteous fury of the faithful of Sigmar.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

It’s a fascinating look into the twisted nobility of the Soulblight vampires, and the curse they carry in their blood.

THE STORY

Nyssa Volari is dying. But that is impossible, because she is a Soulblight vampire, blessed by Nagash with blood-fuelled immortality. More than that, Nyssa is a fighter – one of the handful of Kastelai vampires not dissolved into true death when the Crimson Keep abandoned them a century ago. With her blades and her will, she carved a kingdom out of the Broken Plains of Aqshy.

These things matter little, for Nyssa's blood is cursed. It destroyed the vampire she called father, and as it threatens to do the same to her, Nyssa's allies abandon her one by one. Worse still, an army of zealots led by a brutal priest of Sigmar comes to destroy the vampire lord and claim her birthright.

Nyssa Volari is dying. But that is impossible, because she has spent every moment of her second life refusing to lose.

Love me some vampire drama

Start was a little slow but had all of the gritty vampire drama I wanted along with solid world building for Aos. Would recommend!

fantastic spulblight story

so far my favorite soulblight related novel, I highly recommend this to anyone interested in Soulblight lore

Gripping and exciting

I loved the two narrators and their performances here. The characters were very interesting and really easy to get behind. I sincerely hope this is just the start of more adventures with this cast,

Best warhammer novel yet

This book is so good it makes me want to lower my rating of every other warhammer review I’ve written because they don’t belong with this one. I won’t do that, but this is an excellent novel.

It has a few aspects of “what will happen if two teenage generals go to war” but I didn’t mind much.

If you like Age or Sigmar you’ll probably like this book too.

Best AoS Vampire Novel

I came to this shortly after listening to Cado Ezechiar's novel and it did not disappoint!

The VA's did an excellent job at portraying their characters without dipping into the cliche vampire tropes. Kloster also wrote perhaps the most satisfying endings to an AoS novel I've heard so far.

One of the best

One of the best warhammer books out right now. recommend especially if you like the soulblight vampires

Amazing story

Wow was this story amazing. I’m a huge fan of the Kastelai on the table top and this story was exactly how I envisioned the faction being. Amazing. 10/10. I hope Nissa Volari gets her own model.

Good and bad

The story is often predictable and feels a bit dragged out at times, but there’s great characterization. The performances of the character voices can be difficult to discern at times without name cues.

Half Decent Vampire Story Bad FreeGuilder

Hard to Comment without Spoilers,but I was disappointed.
I frond the Main Characters not very cleaver to very clear events around them, and other characters so unlikable that you may actually start rooting for the wrong characters of the story. Who funny enough you are clearly not meant to be rooting for.

Great Performance but the overall the story is held back by unlikable, Characters like listening to someone moaning about their manager, when there is Vampires Butchering there friends around them,
