Summary

Cast into the Vale of Sorrow upon thunder and lightning, the Stormcast Eternals of Lord-Celestant Tarsus Bull-Heart seek the Starless Gates and an audience with the fabled lord of the Undead, Nagash.

But when the Hallowed Knights are ambushed by Khorne's own Bloodbound, they are forced into a pact with a creature from an elder age, a vampire of dubious provenance, one whose name resonates throughout history...Von Carstein.

What a story!

What an absolutely epic story it’s really well done and very gripping. I found I listened start to finish and it went so quickly I didn’t want it to end

A bland Stormcast adventure, but with little twist

Over all, this audio drama was well put together. But it does not really motivate its price tag of 8 GBP for 1 hour of content. I would have been happier to pay a bit more for a package of the entire series instead. The sound effects and voice acting were good throughout, not much to critique. The story is continued in Sands of Blood, and here serves to set up the characters and their goals and relationships. If you have read any other novel with Stormcast Eternals in the Realmgate Wars series, this audio drama is much of the same but with voice acting and sound effects.
So far the story is nothing special, there is a lot of fighting with chaos (Khorne), which by this point is growing old on me. It will however be interesting to see where the story goes from here. If this was a stand alone 60 min adventure I would tell you to stay far away, but if you see it as a introduction to another, greater story, it might be well worth your time.
