The Horus Heresy #Audio Drama
The Long Night
The Dark Angels and the Night Lords fought one another to a bloody stalemate during the Thramas Crusade and, though the Lion eventually claimed victory, it left both Legions scattered and under-strength. Jago Sevatarion, First Captain of the Night Lords, languishes in a gaol cell in the heart of Ultramar. Far from a spent force, the Night Lords must consider where their loyalties lie, and what path they will take in the days and months to come.

When Jago Sevatarion, the Night Lord First Captain better known as Sevatar, the first traitor saying the words "Death to the False Emperor", finds out that a girl's voice inside his head is more real than others, things start getting bloody quickly for his Dark Angels gaolers and for the one who hurt her.
An excellent Horus Heresy short-tale full of twists, humanizing and fleshing for good "The Prince of Crows", one of the most famous psychopaths of the vicious VIII Legion (slowly becoming my most favourite one :D).
A great read indeed.

A masterpiece.

As characters go, Sevatar was one of those surprise hits. Often only mentioned during the Night Lords trilogy simply as a leader eventually replaced by the Talonmaster, there was nevertheless a growing interest in seeing just who this mysterious warrior was. While past stories have shown a few key hints in just why he was such a truly distant warrior, Dembski-Bowden opted pursued the more challenging task with this one: Humanising a brutal, unrepentant killer of a legion who feasts upon fear.
Abandoned by his primarch and left in an isolated cell, Sevatar is left bereft of his arms and armour. In total silence and absolute darkness, he is feels nothing but the absolute, constant pain of his decaying mind. However, the Night Lord is not truly alone. The ghostly voices of a young child meet him each night, soothing his pain and perhaps allowing him a moment of true compassion for the first time in his long life…
The Long Night ultimately exemplifies how to handle a character piece, with a very narrow focus and a concentration placed purely upon the protagonist. While it does tie into an ongoing war and the Heresy itself, these elements are minimal at best, often only kept to the background until the third act. Even then, it’s only to help push drama in the climax and further justify a major change within Sevatar’s personality. It’s a very quiet story as a result, often hinging purely upon self-reflection and isolated conversations, bereft of any real action or even a single gun firing right up until the final act. While this would be a death knell for most stories in M31, it allows Dembski-Bowden to really focus upon the conversational and introspective elements he’s so famed for, presenting Sevatar as a curiously engaging figure. As the intro made clear, this man is a monster and that is a role he ultimately, quite willingly, stepped into without hesitation or second thought. As such, it’s quite surprising to see him presented not only in a sympathetic light here, but managing to gain some degree of humanity without abandoning his values.
While it does little to really depict or expand upon the Night Lord’s past, what we do get largely shows his childhood. We see just why he became slowly unhinged and why he is left in a state of perpetual agony, driven as much by his ambition as a quiet self-loathing of his abilities. While normally this could easily nosedive until the audio drama’s soundtrack could just be replaced with Linkin Park, it sidesteps it by ensuring Sevatar has little to no sympathy nor pity for himself. He’s sardonic, sarcastic, more than a little spiteful and driven by his pride without it turning him into a roaring, raging warrior like Angron. This naturally makes his conversations all the more fun to listen to, and all the more surprising when you learn he is speaking to a young child. While, as with Master of the First, this bit cannot be expanded upon without delving deep into spoiler territory, but it truly helps to elevate him to more of a well rounded character in the long run.
What’s perhaps most surprising are the descriptions here. Often one of the biggest problems working against the Horus Heresy audio dramas is that the authors don’t know when to stop. There’s a fine line between building upon a scene and just stopping to let the actors take the weight of the drama, without the narrator expounding upon some element, robbing the story of its focus. Oddly enough, The Long Night utilises its narrator far more than most, to the point where it might as well be a transcribed novel, but that does not hurt it. Instead, it helps portray a more vivid, clear environment inside Sevatar’s head, and you’re pulled into the quiet, cold atmosphere it slowly builds up sentence by sentence. With little more than Sevatar himself to work with, it manages to avoid feeling like padding as a result, and it even starts to ease back towards the end. It’s one of these rare moments where the creative team played exactly against what had been working for them, and it turned out for the best.
However, the real conflicting point many will find is the voice acting. Most are on point,as you would hope with a Heavy Entertainment production, but you’d be forgiven for questioning if the protagonist truly is Sevatar at first. Rather than the low growl or more sardonic tones you might expect, Jonathan Keeble plays the character as a cross between Ramsay Bolton and a Edmund Blackadder I. It’s a jarring shift at first, and while it certainly works with his interactions with the Dark Angel jailers, there’s at least two moments where his performance might cause you to burst out laughing. Whether or not that was the author’s intent is entirely up to you.
Atop of this, once the drama leaves Sevatar’s cell, the story ironically loses some of its momentum. While clearly building up towards an end, it loses many of the character moments and tight focus which made the earlier sequences so engaging. As it instead opts to follow a more traditionally 40,000 plot, with gunfire violence and death. While subdued and focused, when you get to the bit where a near naked posthuman killing machine is choking a man to death, it can seem like a far cry from the more nuanced moments we had before. That and the Dark Angels themselves seem to exist largely to give the story more of a definitive antagonist in some way, some show of power or muscle. Beyond the odd threat and standing guard, they really add nothing to the story as a whole.
While certainly not nearly as perfect as some would claim, The Long Night is nevertheless a high point in the Horus Heresy audio drama spin-offs. Alongside the Eightfold Path it represents what a talented writer can do when he’s given only a few, well known, tools to work with and his own creativity rather than having to manage a whole battlefield. As such, this is most definitely a must buy if you want to look beyond the core books of this series.

Final rating: 4.5/5 stars
Now this is short story that does everything short story has to do. In short - I cried.
Why do you make me cry about a Night Lord, member of one of the most malicious and notorious legions that dealt more devastation through the story of Horus Heresy setting, just because he helped one (ghost) girl?
It's an insight of what happened while he was captured by Dark Angels after the skirmish between Lion and Konrad's fleets. And during that time, he met Altani, the one he started to care for.
Aaron Dembski-Bowden can make you simp for the antagonists and say - hey, they might be like this, but in the end, they aren't all monsters. They are also human. There is still something left.
‘Jago.’ the girl’s voice breaks the silence. ‘Are you still alive?’

God damn but ADB really knocked this one out of the park! Probably the best audio drama I have ever listened to in terms of story, and definitely a worthy addition to the Horus Heresy. For those that say the HH has stalled in terms of quality can be silenced with this one!
Here we see Sevatar during his imprisonment on the Invincible Reason, the Dark Angels flagship where he is saved from his own gifts by a girl. The story is just fantastic. We get Sevatar's usual character, which is probably one of the best done ones of the entire Heresy, as well as the gift that is Altari.
I don't want to spoil anything, but for those that really want a story driven piece without the usual action of warhammer, this one is for you! Purely amazing stuff. Can't wait to see what ADB does with Jago next!

Great read and a great showcasing of this Night Lords character (despite him killing my beloved Dark Angles).
April 22, 2022
Short and sweet story about a supposedly psychopathic murderer breaking out of his cell to exact vigilante justice. This was my first exposure to the Night Lords, and if they're all like this I think they could maybe be pretty interesting. They basically seem like a legion of Punishers, except way more brutal.

Jago... sintiendo sentimientos... God, what a ride, y solo tiene veinte páginas este relato 🥺 I'm going fucking insane, losing my shit, es injusto que no le den una NOVELA a este personaje.

«Nostramo. A lawless and sunless place. It burned not because it was guilty but because we failed to keep it innocent. Our laws failed the moment we sailed away to the stars and in desperate embarrassment our father incinerated the evidence of his failure»
A beautiful story and easily my favorite Horus Heresy audiodrama. Loved the plot and all the actors’ performance. Sevatar’s voice is exactly as I imagined him to be. The drama gripped me until a very satisfying ending.

„I am judgement. I am punishment. And I surrender.“ Nothing more to say.
It‘s really a masterpiece, even though it’s rather short, but it shows a beautiful side of Sevatar‘s character. I really hope he returns someday 💔

Just a note this book is a short story.

Listened to the audiobook while making dinner. A wonderful story and I want to read more by this author. The characters were delightful

Jago is the best character in the Heresy. If not, then on par with Argel Tal. He is a true hero of the Imperium whether he would admit it or not.

“Crows feed on corpses, and I make a lot of corpses”
“Nostramo is a lawless and sunless place. that burned not because it was guilty but because we failed to keep it innocent.”
Jago Sevetarion, Prince of Crows is languishing in captivity. He is haunted by a ghost of a young girl.
It showed a different side of Sevetar that I hadn’t seen before. He was gentle with the ghost, there was a softness to him that was never shown before. But that softness is contrasted sharply with his madness, his mind unravelling as his psychic powers have reawakened.
In his eyes is not a soldier, he is justice, he is judgment, he punishment. Or rather maybe that is what he wishes to be. Sevetar here is presented as a conflicted individual, not sure who he is, or what he wants.
The story is also quite funny. Sevetar uses humour as a shield, making cut jabs and remarks in the face of his captivity.
As awful as he is, I can't help but like Sevetar. He is tragic but murderous, gentle but sadistic. He is complex and demands my attention. Great work by ADB.

CW: Horrifc Violence and Injury to a Child (Referenced)
April 2024 Re-Read using the Horus Heresy Omnibus Project Reading Order Omnibus XVI Imperium Secondus II Gate's Ashes (https://www.heresyomnibus.com/omnibus...) as part of my Oath of Moment to complete the Horus Heresy saga and extras.
Without a shadow of doubt this is one of, if not, the best Horus Heresy audio dramas! It's probably my equal favourite for very different reasons with Raven's Flight by Gav Thorpe, but absolutely my favourite full cast one.
In the darkest cell aboard the Dark Angels' flagship, Sevatar of the Night Lords lays broken and forgotten. The long years of suppressing his psychic gift have caused massive damage to his brain and it is killing him. Left to the nothing but the dark, he is visited by the ghostly voice of a child who he forms an unlikely bond with.
It's been a while since I felt so much from the Horus Heresy, at least in a way that covers me in goosebumps.
*The following paragraph recounts the story beats, if not specifics, and could be considered spoilers*
In many ways this is the apotheosis of and why I love grimdark and Warhammer--An unrepentant murderer and worse kept in a dank cell by hateful knights who have nothing but contempt for the equally hateful being forged in blood and tragedy, dying alone in the dark, and in this grimmest of darkest moments a child tenderly reaches out to lend her aid. The dying killer doesn't know his nightmares are hurting her and her kin. The rest of her choir shut themselves off and shun the pain radiating from the broken man, but the child turns towards the darkness and tries to soothe it. In turn, she is horrifically punished in ways equal or greater than anything the monster in the dark has ever done, exposing the bitter truth that hides in the false light. And the man becomes the monster again in service to aiding the child, forsaking his chance of freedom.
ADB is on some exalted stuff here. The writing is sublime and the performances are wonderful. I genuinely can't say enough good about this story. It truly is everything I want from this series, though I could do without so much child abuse.
Hauntingly beautiful. Horrifyingly bleak. Bloody brilliant!
Through using the Horus Heresy Omnibus Project (www.heresyomnibus.com) and my own choices, I have currently read 30 Horus Heresy novels, 16 novellas (including 2 repeats), 102 short stories/ audio dramas (including 6 repeats), as well as the Macragge's Honour graphic novel, 15 Primarchs novels, 4 Primarchs short stories/ audio dramas, and 2 Warhammer 40K further reading novels and a short story...this run. I can't say enough good about the way the Horus Heresy Omnibus Project suggestions. I'm loving it! Especially after originally reading to the releases and being so frustrated at having to wait so long for a narrative to continue.
***
Initial Review:
Okay. This is very weird and different and rather sweet by grimdark standards. I absolutely loved it!
At some point in the ongoing war between the Night Lords and Dark Angels that I haven't come across yet, the Sons of the Lions have got their hands on Jago 'Prince of Saying Death to the False Emperor Before It Was Cool' Sevatar(ion). He is being kept on the Invincible Reason and treated to the Knights of Caliban's finest hospitality.
During his stay he makes an unlikely acquaintance and goes for a little wander to stretch his legs.
Look, this is absolutely my jam. Gimme one of the sympathic 'baddies', especially one whose life and abilities only ever allowed him to be tormented, much like his Primarch and I'll be happy. Make it one of those brutal Wolverine being sweet to a young mutant type stories that always make me cry, and I'm yours!
This really shows how unbelievably fucked the Dark Angels and the Imperium are. Oh, the Night Lords are so evil when they skin those who refuse to bend the knee to the Emperor (well...yes, actually), but the Imperium are the good guys and they do what happens in this story.
Creepy, cool, genuinely sweet, harrowing; everything I want from a story of one of Nighthaunter's sons.

I wanted more.
ADB is probably my favourite writer in the Warhammer series. This is a great short story of a night lord imprisoned and struggling with his physic powers.
Well written and paced in such a way I'm annoyed there's no more. If you enjoy this go and read Soul Hunter, its the first in the night lords series and my favorite set of books in the WH40K lore

Beautiful, dark and dripping with atmosphere.
Master of the dark, Aaron Denski Bowden delivers yet another master-craft at the behest of the Black Library. Again, the warriors of the 8th legion should not be compelling, should not be redeemable and yet Aaron once again makes you want to see where Captain Sevetar's dark adventure will take him next.
A must experience!
A 5 out of 5

I always enjoy a good Night Lord yarn and A D-B does them justice. My only quibble is that Jago Sevaterion sounds like Edmund Blackadder in season one.

TBH I think about this short story like every day. I never knew Sevatar could become such an empathetic character. Big ups to ADB.
