Description

A brand-new novel set in the universe of the record-breaking, internationally bestselling video game World of Warcraft!

War is coming.

Voljin, courageous leader of the Darkspear tribe: his strength and cunning are unmatched even among the Hordes most exalted champions. Now on the legendary continent of Pandaria, the troll chieftain faces his greatest trial yet, one that may redefine his purpose in the World of Warcraft.

Warchief Garroshs assassins strike at Voljin, leaving him at deaths door. But fate smiles on the wounded Darkspear leader when renowned brewmaster Chen Stormstout transports him to the safety of an isolated mountain monastery. There, Voljin wrestles with old hatreds smoldering between the Alliance and the Horde as he struggles to recover alongside a mysterious human soldier.

Yet this is only the beginning of Voljins worries. Soon, he becomes embroiled in an invasion of Pandaria launched by the Zandalari, revered trolls driven by dreams of conquest and power. This ancient tribe offers Voljin a chance to seize the glory that is the birthright of all trolls . . . an offer made even more tempting after Garroshs brazen treachery.

Amid these troubling events, Voljin is rocked by intense visions depicting his races grand history. As he questions where his loyalties lie, he knows he must make a choice about his own destiny that could save his people or damn them to languish under Garroshs heel in the Shadows of the Horde.
