Summary
A Primarchs Anthology
Explore the histories and motivations of the primarchs across six short stories that will take you to the depths of the Cthonian Utterdark, the wilds of Fenris in winter, and even to the holy soil of Terra itself.
LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE
Get new insights into several of the primarchs in tales set across the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy.
DESCRIPTION
A weak Cthonian boy forges a bloody destiny among the stars. Tribal warriors hunt a beast in the Fenrisian snows. Prosperine sorcerers seek hidden secrets. The Emperor's Praetorian shows his ruthless side. Alpharius submits to questioning over a brutal campaign, and Mortarion returns to Terra for the first time since his ascension to daemonhood.
Each of these six tales provides you with a new look at one of the primarchs, the demigod sons of the Emperor. Once brothers-in-arms, these legendary heroes fell into war and strife, loyalist and traitor. But each remains a mighty lord of warriors and leader of men, and each has tales to tell…

Best narrator
Christopher is one of if not the best voice for the warhammer novels. Hope to hear him in more!

Another magnificent set of stories, and the start of something beautiful
As someone working through the entirety of the the Horus Heresy series I’ve heard my fair share of stories from this magnificent setting and this one today left me with shivers.
The performance of the Narrator left my breathless, from his first utterance to his final statement my attention was kept in a vice-like grip keeping me hooked on every sentence. Christopher Tester deserves to be a well-known name in the Narration and Voice Acting circles.

The voice actor made it
The stories were good. Interesting, but given how short they were, there could have been a few more included.
The standout feature though was the quality of the voice acting. I think it was certainly the best I’ve experienced from black library. Hope they cast him in more important works!

Brilliant listen!
The voice artist breathes real life into these characters! Brilliant work from all involved. Black Library once again brings 40K to life, can't recommend this collection of short stories enough.
