About this listen

An Aeldari audio drama.

Tasked with a vital mission for Eldrad Ulthran and Primarch Guilliman, Yvraine and her Ynnari head to a place of great power: the Black Library itself.

Listen to it because:

It's the first Aeldari-based Warhammer 40,000 fiction to take place after the Gathering Storm and sees the Ynnari on a mission that will aid both their race and mankind's Imperium in the darkest of days.

The story:

Fell is the Hand of Darkness, a relic of great evil. Seeking to rob the powers of Chaos of this relic and bend fate to the favour of order, Yvraine of the Ynnari and the mysterious yet deadly Visarch lead a host of Aeldari on a quest to steal it. To reach it, however, they must first beseech the aid of the Black Library. Only then will Yvraine and her warriors have even the slightest chance to slip through the Garden of Nurgle and from there to the Plague Planet and the Whispering Tower of Mortarion, where the Hand of Darkness surely resides.

I usually do not write reviews, but I am making an exception for this particular title.

For context I've recently gotten into the warhammer lore, and I've over the past 2 years bought and listened to about 30+ warhammer related audiobooks.

This is probably the best audiobooks I have EVER listened to. Why? Because this audiobook is unlike any other, it has a soundtrack, special effects, several talented voice actors, and best of all, an engaging story. I bought the book simply because I wanted to learn more about the Eldar, and the awakening of Guilliman, but I was completely blown away by the production quality. Sadly its not very long like most people have pointed out, but this does not make the audiobook bad. It just makes you sad, because its SO GOOD!

10/10
