About this listen

A Warhammer 40,000 Drukhari Audiobook

Lelith Hesperax is the Queen of Knives – the greatest of Commorragh's wyches, and the deadliest gladiator in the galaxy. Now she returns to the Dark City, to slice her way through tangled webs of deception...

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

Follow the legendary grand succubus as she finds herself dragged back to Commorragh and enveloped once more within the twisted plots of Asdrubael Vect.

THE STORY

In the darkest corners of the webway lies the city of Commorragh. Home to the sadistic drukhari, millions are butchered upon its arenas’ sands to slake their terrible thirst for blood. The greatest of these butchers is Lelith Hesperax – the Queen of Knives, and the deadliest gladiator in the galaxy.

Lelith abandoned the Dark City to walk alongside the nomadic death cultists of Ynnead, and in her absence from Commorragh, pretenders to her blood-soaked crown have arisen.

When a blade strikes at Lelith from the shadows, she is pulled back to Commorragh, and into the murderous games of the Living Muse himself – Asdrubael Vect. As his schemes coil around her, the Queen of Knives finds herself ensnared once more in Vect’s terrible web, and this time, mere blades may not be enough to cut her free.

Overall wonderful!

Bit on the short side, but a surprising twist with a touching love story! Always glad to see (and hear!) non-Imperial content. Still waiting on the Ynnari audiobooks though. Mr James Workshop - get on it!

Good story!

Good story. I liked Lellith’s internal monologue Good characterisation by the narator. If anything it felt too short. Want more!! Hopefully we’ll see more of Lellith in future drukhari novels. Or more from the Ynnari!

one of the best Durkhari novels

Great fascinating read into a lesser seen Faction in moden 40k. Lelith is a brilliant character who gives no poops to anyone 😆 well worth a read if you wanna read 40k but marines and humans don't float your boat 😄

I found myself enjoying this book more than I expected wishing only it was longer.

A mostly good book

A huge fan of the dark eldar. This book on the whole was pretty good. Not amazing but a strong book. Few holes in the story which ruined the immersion for me personally but not bad.

Narrator though! top notch. Done an amazing job.
