Publisher Description
A Gotrek Gurnisson Audiobook
Saving the life of a blaspheming warrior priest, Gotrek finds himself bound to a new companion – and drawn to the Realm of Life, where a terrible threat is infecting its way into reality.
LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE
Gotrek Gurnisson, the legendary Slayer, picks up a new accomplice – and faces a truly grotesque challenge in the disease-ridden spawn of the Plague God himself.
THE STORY
Deep in the wilds of Ghyran, a former warrior priest preaches for humanity to reject the gods. The sole survivor of a massacred Dawnbringer Crusade, Amara Fidellus believes that Sigmar has betrayed her – and when she faces execution for such blasphemy, it’s only the intervention of a drunken, taciturn and incredibly violent Slayer that saves her life.
Now bound to Gotrek Gurnisson by a life-debt, Amara finds herself caught up in his quest for revenge. But when the duo become aware of a sorcerous threat building on the far Rocanian Coast, Gotrek and Amara must put aside their own desires for retribution to confront a terrible danger that could plunge all of Ghyran into Chaos, and see a deadly aspect of Nurgle’s Garden manifest in the Mortal Realms.
Customer Reviews
The only Gotrek book in the entire series I dislike
**Spoilers**
This isn’t Gotrek’s story, it is Amara’s. The tale of a priest who lost her faith in Sigmar and found it again. The thing is: I purchased a Gotrek book. In this Gotrek was just a vehicle to push this new character’s story further.
In the fantasy novels Gotrek filled something of a similar role for Felix but not nearly to this extent. Also, Felix was an enjoyable character, Amara is not. The AoS books were on a great track of exploring Gotrek as a character more. This new author derailed that progress seemingly only interested in telling the story of their character.
Give the series back to David Guymer. Not only did he do better justice to Gotrek but Maleneth was a far better written companion-adding conflict to the relationship though Gotrek still cared for her.
It would be tough as a long time Gotrek fan but if the next book has Amara in it, I doubt I’ll waste my money.
