Black Library has officially started their Audio Week for 2017. Every day this week they’ll be dropping new audio dramas for our listening pleasure!
Every day this week Black Library will be giving us new audio dramas to keep our Lore addictions under control. Let’s see what they have in store for us this week.
These two tales – Eye of Night and Hand of Darkness, both written by Gav Thorpe, are the first Warhammer 40,000 stories set after the Gathering Storm, and they star Inquisitor Greyfax and Yvraine of the Ynnari, both sent on separate but related missions to find and seize artefacts that could help turn the tide against the forces of Chaos…
Today is kicking off the week with Part 1 of Eye of Night.
Part 1: Eye of Night MP3: $ 3.99
Part 1 of a 3 part audio drama
Tasked with a mission by Roboute Guilliman, Inquisitor Greyfax and a bodyguard of Grey Knights travel into the Eye of Terror in search of an ancient enemy of the Imperium.
