Summary

A Gunnar Brand Audiobook

Gunnar Brand and his people are survivors. Enduring the predations of madmen, monsters, and the gods themselves, the Brands have earned survival through grit and fortitude, each fell deed they perform brings the blessings of the Dark Gods.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

Explore the struggles of a Darkoath Chieftain desperately trying to balance the survival of his tribe, his own ambitions, and the will of the Dark Gods.

THE STORY

When calamity befalls their home, Gunnar Brand must step up to lead his tribe, embarking on a grim and perilous exodus through a Realm of Fire ravaged by war.

Haunted by an unfulfilled oath, his duties as chieftain soon conflict with his deep-rooted sense of destiny, and he discovers that the attentions of the Dark Gods are not so easily ignored.

Even now they whisper to him, for they know the road Gunnar Brand travels, and call his exodus by another name: the Path to Glory.

Written by Chris Thursten. Narrated by Jon Rand. Runtime 10 hours and 36 minutes, approx.

Great story and awesome narrator!

Awesome to hear about the motivations of the Darkoath, especially with the choices they face for survival in the Vermondoom. The Narrator should be THE narrator for AoS stories ❤️

Enthralling human view of Chaos

The book was amazing at exploring fascinating ideas around the worship of Chaos without losing track of being a riveting action story. Poignant, clever, thrilling. It's beautifully written and very well read. It was a real treat to experience the depth of Chris's thinking about the tensions in a human follower of the dark gods and leader of their people.

great narration, odd story

Great narration, but the story itself is quite fragmented and confused. Strange blend of Norse themes in a Warhammer world. I can see what they were trying to achieve but it's just a bit confused for me, and tries to be too many things. Worth a listen but not as good as some of the other WH titles!

Extremely bland

Almost Identical to several Slaves to Darkness / Darkoath stories that have come before it. Except it has Skaven. Really really disappointing. If you've never read a Slaves to Darkness book before you might enjoy it. If you have skip it. Same tale rehashed over and over again. Books like Godeaters Son and Scourge of Fate are far superior. Wasn't even able to finish listening to this one it was so boring.
