4.0

The first Black Library story to be set in Warhammer Underworlds: Shadespire, this short audio drama takes us deep into the twisting lanes of the Mirrored City as two Stormcast Eternals attempt to find a route back to their commander. For Errak Grimwatch, the journey becomes an illusory tangle of past and present as memories thought lost in the mists of reforging blend with his strange surroundings as something seeks to draw him off-course. Meanwhile, among the ever-changing streets of Shadespire, Errark’s visions are also shared by a warrior of Khorne.

So it turns out Shadespire as a setting is perfectly suited to audio, springing to vivid, creepy life through a mixture of Jonathan Keeble’s always-excellent narration, Annandale’s dark and twisty description and some genuinely atmospheric SFX. It’s only twenty minutes long, but it’s really nicely done.
