About this listen

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.

Fantastic, hard to press pause or stop

10/10 all round, cutting edge of the 40k lore. fantastic voice acting from all 3 actors. Not only are they fantastic but each spectacularly well suited to their portrayed characters personas in timbre tone and pacing.
can't recommend enough, although I ran through it far too quickly because I couldn't bring myself to pause or stop the story!

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!

A look into the minds of the talons of the throne and the workings of the high lords

This book really makes you understand the thought process and workings of the custodies, sisters of silence (anathema psykana) and the rulers of the imperiums society

A great look at modern 40k lore.

Really enjoyed this. It contextualises some of the recent events in the ongoing story of 40k extremely well. The three narrators were all great.

Really enjoyable

If you like to hear about Terra and the events before the Indomitus Crusade then this is highly recommended. Loved how the story weaves together.
