Starseer's Ruin

Warhammer Age of Sigmar

By: Adrian Tchaikovsky

Narrated by: Richard Reed

A Warhammer Age of Sigmar Audiobook

A loyal Seraphon is sent to the ruins of a derelict temple-ship to recover an ancient prophecy, but other forces are set on finding the same ruins for very different reasons. Will Irixi Starseer find what they're looking for, or will there be conflict with other armies of Order?

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

Find out what happens when the servants of Order find themselves on opposing sides of the same objective. Will the Seraphon, Stormcast Eternals, and Cities of Sigmar come to blows, or will they come together in the end? The rise of a mysterious evil might just save them from disgrace in Adrian Tchaikovsky's first full-length novel set in the Mortal Realms, following on from his short story, Written in Stars.

THE STORY

An age ago, the Seraphon temple-ship Wings of Serendipitous Fire was blasted from the skies of Shyish. Not by the powers of Chaos, but by the misplaced servants of Sigmar himself. Now, Irixi Starseer, servant of the mage-priest Sek'atta, is sent to the ancient ruin of the temple-ship to recover a prophecy inscribed on its walls, a prophecy as shattered as the rest of the fallen vessel.

The Stormcast Vael Scar-Helm seeks the same ruin, chasing a memory that has haunted him through many Reforgings. Simultaneously, the mage Perlo leads a group of Steelhelms to the site, pursuing rumours of a treasure beyond imagining. But while others seek the Seraphon's power and riches, an even greater, more insidious enemy arises that threatens the very fabric of the Great Plan.

Written by Adrian Tchaikovsky. Narrated by Richard Reed. Runtime 10 hours and 8 minutes approx.

absolutely astounding

one of the best books I've gotten. and the performance was to die for. I was in no way expecting how well the characters would grab me and the atmosphere would hold me.

The Scouts were the best characters.

Oaxmal & Stanner were by far the best characters.
If there were to be a follow-on novel, or spin-off, it should absolutely be about them.
Thr rest of the cast?
<shrugs>
They're okay, in their own way, I suppose - but I looked forward the the scout's perspective more than any other.

The story was well-written and engaging.
Richard Reed was excellent (as usual).
His Skaven voices are classic.

Really fun read

I like the variety of characters and perspectives and how they evolved over the course of the book.

One of the best Warhammer books to date

The author skill clearly comes from to the forefront of this book; You will be hard pressed to find a better prose, interesting characters and depth of world building.

The narrator also is outstanding, the skaven segments were always a joy to listen,

Cannot recommend this book enough.

Seraphon

Finally a Seraphon story, adding to the lore of AOS, bringing all factions of the Mortel Realms to life. The Saurus and Skink characters are amazing, along with the Cities of Sigmar characters.
