Summary

The Chronicles of Malus Darkblade Book 1

Ambitious dark elf warrior Malus Darkblade leads an expedition into the dangerous Chaos Wastes, but finds far more than he had bargained for.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

Adapted and expanded from the classic graphic novel, the saga of the most ambitious, treacherous and downright sneaky dark elf around (and that's saying something!) begins here.

THE STORY

When Malus Darkblade learns the location of a powerful relic, he decides he wants it for himself. Malus leads an expedition into the dangerous Chaos Wastes in search of this great weapon but finds far more than he had bargained for. Possessed by a powerful daemon, he must undertake an epic quest to save his very soul.

Written by Dan Abnett and Mike Lee. Narrated by Andrew James Spooner. Running time is 11 hours and 12 minutes (approx).

Great story, superb narration

As good as Warhammer fiction gets. The narration is top class, exactly as you would expect Malus to sound.

A fantastic audio book

I’ve read this 6 book series a few times and listening to the perfect voice work of one of my favourite Warhammer fantasy book series has been such a good time. Can’t wait for the other books to make a debut.

how Alien the Drucci are

the story was brilliant, one thing I like about warhammer is how the different races actually feel different, they are not human and thus are ruthless

Exciting narration

I first read The Daemon's Curse a few years ago and since then Malus has become my favourite character. The narrator does a good job of doing evil Druchii voices and gives a wide range of diffirent UK accents and various types
of voices to the characters so you get a feel for their personalities. The plot is good, basic hack and slash classic fantasy style action/adventure book. A little repetitive and shall I say cringey in places and in some scenes. I'd like there to have been more romance between Malus and Lhunara but apart from that it's a fun and dark read which all fans of warhammer could enjoy.
