Summary
In the wake of the Dropsite Massacre at Isstvan V, the survivors of the Salamanders Legion searched long and hard for their fallen primarch, but to no avail. Little did they know that while Vulkan might have wished himself dead, he lives still...languishing in a hidden cell for the entertainment of a cruel gaoler, his brother Konrad Curze.
Enduring a series of hellish tortures designed to break his body and spirit, Vulkan witnesses the depths of the Night Haunter's depravity but also discovers something else - a revelation that could change the course of the entire war.

A great story based around my favourite Primarch
This story really captures Vulkan's sheer power and unwillingness to use it, which I love!

Lacklustre
Some decent moments tied together by a lot of waffle. People run around doing a lot of things with many motivations that will be explained elsewhere in different novels, it doesn't make for a compelling narrative.

Nice to get a primates l primarch's perspective
I really enjoy the style of being in the thoughts of a primarch, it suits Vulcan's more grounded aspect and I found the book in general well written with the performance being well done and captivating, buy it.

Read it!!!
I'm so glad I finally picked this book up and listened to it!
I almost didn't buy this book when it was on offer in a 2 for 1 credits deal as id already gone past it in story. But after reading the reviews I thought why not as I hadn't read much about Vulkan yet.
My god am I SO glad I did! its not very often a book grips me from start to finish and there aren't many books that allows you to read and follow the mind and thoughts of a Primarch. This book is just fantastic and has skyrocketed Vulkan into easily my top 5 Primarchs now (maybe even top 3)
My advice is get this book! I'd be very surprised if anyone is dissatisfied after listening to it!

Excellent in parts, but an acquired taste
The book is intentionally designed as a mirror to the psychological torture of the main character. This is very effective, as the jumping around in time disorienting and unsettling. However, as with most narrative devices, these often run the risk of detracting from the enjoyment of the story. I found that the narrative device, designed to replicate torture, was at times - painful.

Haven’t liked nick kymes older previous titles
Enjoyed this one even if the dialogue gets incredibly cheesy at times, the characters can be a bit one dimensional too. Enjoyed it in the end though.
