Summary

An Officio Assassinorum story.

On the Knight World of Dominion, a Vindicare and a Callidus Assassin are tasked with eliminating a seditious leader and safely steering a pro-Imperial candidate to the throne.

Listen to it because....

Kingmaker shows the fascinating relationship between two very different temples of the Assassinorum, as two agents navigate the complex social hierarchy of a Knight World. The stakes are high and the pressure is on, for an Imperial war effort hinges on them executing their duty before disaster strikes.

The story:

The Officio Assassinorum safeguards the future of humanity. Its agents are the bloody-handed, secret saviours of the Imperium, killers charged with achieving the impossible...and Vindicare assassin Absolom Raithe has just been handed the most difficult assignment of his career.

The Knight World of Dominion is on the verge of seceding from the Imperium, its court riven by factionalism and ruled by an increasingly unhinged monarch. With the aid of the shapeshifting Callidus assassin Sycorax, Raithe must remove the king from his throne—and safely steer a pro-Imperial candidate to victory through the brutal succession crisis that will inevitably ensue. His team will need to infiltrate a world steeped in chivalric codes, where every move risks discovery and every threat pilots an adamantine monster...for if the assassins fail, and Dominion falls, the entire sector will be plunged into darkness.

Fantastic

Honestly one of the best 40k books I've read. It covers so many parts of the 40k universe and has a great twist at the end!

Highly recommended.

Unlike any other 40K book I’ve listened too; it’s great, the voice actor does an amazing job

Great story and insight to the assassins and imperial knights.

Interesting and tempting story. Exciting and very informative about Imperial Fist and the assasinorium. Would recommend this if you want to hear a great story about Imperial knights or the officials of the Assasinorium.

Double-Oh Cool.

This felt like a mashup between all the covert ops movies I loved with added 40k. And Knights.

One of my favourite 40k books so far

Amazing read, I'd recommend it to everyone.
Robert Rath has done an amazing job, building an interesting world and great characters.
Now I will 100% have to pick up some Assassin/Knoght miniatures...

Good story, insight into imperial knights

Good story, good pace, more of an imperial knight story than assassin's story, though they do get their moments to shine in the book.
