Story
Exile to the miserable world of Sedh, the disgraced Necron Lord Oltyx is consumed with bitterness. Once heir to the throne of a dynasty, he now commands nothing but a dwindling garrison of warriors, in a never-ending struggle against Ork invaders. Oltyx can think of nothing but the prospect of vengeance against his betrayers, and the reclamation of his birthright. But the Orks are merely the harbingers of a truly unstoppable force. Unless Oltyx acts to save his dynasty, revenge will win him only ashes.

Kept alive and imprisoned for 10 thousand years, Luther is the curse and the salvation of the Dark Angels made manifest. None are so close to the heart and history of the Chapter as the man that embodies all that was great about the First Legion and all that is shameful about the Dark Angels. In his story is writ the tale of the Horus Heresy and the fall from Enlightenment in a single long life. Glory, honour, pride, shame and betrayal weave a tapestry of truth and lies that the Supreme Grand Masters of the Dark Angels have sought to understand and unbind across 10 bloody millennia.

Before the being called the Emperor revealed himself, before the rise of the aeldari, before the necrontyr traded their flesh for immortal metal, the world was born in violence. Even when they inhabited bodies of flesh, Trazyn the Infinite and Orikan the Diviner were polar opposites. Trazyn, a collector of historical oddities, presides over a gallery full of the most dangerous artefacts - and people - of the galactic past. Orikan, a chronomancer without peer, draws zodiacs that predict and manipulate the future.

Publisher's Summary
An Aeldari audio drama
The Harlequins of the Masque of the Fading Dawn bring their deadly artistry to bear on a force of humans - but their Death Jester has another agenda that puts their performance into question.

Battling to secure their legacy, the troupe put on a performance worthy of remembrance against a backdrop of acerbic remarks from their Death Jester, Adroniel. Intent on a spectacular finale, Adroniel becomes hell-bent on obliterating their unremarkable human foe with deadly artistry, until a strange encounter challenges her role in the final act....

The Best One Yet
A change of pace from the first chapter as it is less narrated, letting the voice actors carry the story. Getting an insight into Harlequin philosophy is one of the strong points, for me at least.

Refreshing Funny
The voice actors do some great work bringing these ridiculous characters to life in an aggressively over-the-top 40k script, and it is a joy to listen to them. Adroniel's actress does fantastic work as the focus of this drama, and her interactions with the Troupe Master and Shadowseer are so fun. The way the trio narrates their way through battle is refreshingly different in the way it often abandons typical narrator-focus.

Our Motley clad trio does it again!
Another fantastic story revolving around the Masque of the Fading Dawn. I cant really say anything bad about it, the performance was fantastic and the sound design on point. Echo, the Shadowseer is more prominent this time, which is great because he had such little dialogue last time around.
The story seems to have less narration this time around. Im still deciding if i prefer the narration style of A Deadly Wit or the limited style found in this story. Both worked very well.
The only downside I have is we still dont know the Masque colors for their standard troupe players, but that is not going to ruin my fun for the story, only the tabletop game.
I recommend this book whole heartily for any Harlequin fan.
