About this listen

A Cado Ezechiar Novel

In his first full-length novel, the vampiric anti-hero Cado Ezechiar finds himself caught in a web of war and deceit in the city of Aventhis.

Listen to it because

The cold-hearted Cado Ezechiar is obsessed with revenge and keeping to his strict moral code—can he stay true to himself and avenge those who he has lost?

The story

Cado Ezechiar is a wanderer who has outlived the memory of the age that made him. A Soulblight vampire who accepted the curse as his people and kingdom fell to Chaos, he now roams the Realm of Death and beyond seeking retribution and salvation for the ones he failed.

Aided by the bound spirits of those he lost, Cado follows a path of revenge, hunting the servants of Chaos to slake his need for blood while seeking the Sorcerer of Change who destroyed his kingdom. When his hunt leads him to the free city of Aventhis, Cado becomes caught up in the machinations of greater powers—beings who see the city and its people as dust in the eyes of ambitious gods. Torn between his code of honour and his desire for vengeance, Cado must navigate a web of war and deceit, or lose everything.

The Hollow King follows a fallen prince as he attempts to uncover a chaos conspiracy in an old medieval town.

I really like the AOS novels with a strong protagonist. Sometimes I lost the flow of the story and had to rewind. But the narrator Richard Reed (I really liked him in the Cursed City narration) dit a great job and I didn’t mind rewinding.

If there would be a sequel I would definitely listen to that as well.

Very unfolding story and great narration!

It reminded me a little of The Sandman.
I did not like it very much.
The main character is interesting, but the story is a little too much D&D.
The bad guys in the shadow are interesting, but they are just a sub current and not the main focus.
I would be interested in learning more but just barely.
P.S. I am more inclined to 40k but not a huge fan of Warhammer. Newer listened to something in the AoS universe before.

Ok but too much fantasy
