When the Crimson Keep abandoned her in the wilds of Aqshy over a century ago, Nyssa Volari should have died. Instead, she forged a kingdom and claimed a throne. Now, she is a queen.
READ IT BECAUSE
Nyssa Volari, the star of The Last Volari, returns and is struggling to deal with the pressures of ruling a kingdom. This classic tale of intrigue features vampiric politics, diplomacy, and lashings of extreme violence. Can Nyssa hold on to the throne she has worked so hard to claim?
THE STORY
Amidst the triumphs of Nyssa Volari, an army of beasts rampages across the Broken Plains, seeking a totem of necromantic power. As this mysterious force corrupts her empire, threatening allegiances and exposing mortal enemies, Nyssa soon discovers that the Rose Throne is ever uncertain.
To prove her sovereignty once and for all, she must confront the long-lost ghosts of her past to acquire a new power, one that will enable her to claim dominion over both the living and the dead.
Mr. Kloster can write! This book is another example of how fun the Age of Sigmar novels are. The characters are really interesting, there is great action, the plot is easy to understand and moves very quickly; there are cinematic stand-up-and-cheer moments. I could easily read 500 pages of this. I sincerely hope that this series continues to run for as long as possible and that these characters meet other Age of Sigmar characters. I also hope that our Queen and her retinue get their own miniatures and rules.
I love a strong female lead. This is the second 40K book that I have read and it was so much better than the first. ( the first one was about ogres). This book had me hooked from the first page. It was a little repetitive with the “ I am Kastelai” but it was a fun read overall
