Summary

The Custodian Guard have stood watch over the Emperor's Palace on Terra since the foundation of the Imperium. Charged with protecting the Master of Mankind from all threats, within and without, their fearsome resolve is renowned throughout the galaxy, and their golden armour is the last thing that a would-be assassin or saboteur will ever see.

Alongside the Null-maidens of the Sisters of Silence, who are anathema to psykers and sorcerers alike, there is no threat to the Golden Throne that they alone cannot vanquish...until now.

Enthralling

I was hooked from start to end with everything being told. The inclusion of multiple points of view with different voice actors adding an even further depth to each characters views was a very nice touch.

Deserving a movie!!!!!!

Although i started listening this knowing most of the story the details and scenery, the performance of the readers and the 3 way character view made me cry....this is something truly deserving a movie, an excellent example of true 40k lore and the grim dark future.

unexpectedly, a great story

Really enjoyed it. thought the story tellers were fantastic, especially the main reader as his was told in reflection while the other two were in the present.
Covers Palace intrigue and the Return of Guilliman, though the Primarch only has a very small part.
I'd recommend it as an Audio Book.

Outstanding

The 3 narrators fully realise the potential of the story which is superlative, I find it difficult to invest in the heresy narratives but the Dark Imperium has me in its clutches

One of my favourites

Nothing it perfect but this story is genuinely so rich and full of great characters and perspectives. I wasn’t sure on where it fit in the time line so as events unfolded I was shaken when the story suddenly changed! (In a good way)

If you’re unsure if you should get this or not just know if you want to know more about the golden boys and girls and the Terran politics then this will be your thing for sure!
