WORLD OF WARCRAFT®

Warchief Garrosh's assassins strike at Vol'jin, leaving him at death's 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, Vol'jin wrestles with old hatreds smoldering between the Alliance and the Horde as he struggles to recover alongside a mysterious human soldier.

Ratings and reviews

I expected a simple story set in a world i was familiar with. And that's exactly how it started. But then this book began to go into details here and there about the reasons why people fight, and what those fights can create or destroy. Beyond that it even touched on race relations, through Vol'jinn's ruminations on what it means to be a troll. I had hoped it'd be a longer book, but so far that is the only problem I have with this book.

Pros, it was a fantastic read, really grimy and ugly to almost put a reminder that these characters bleed. Con's, need more stackpole, Warcraft books! Lok'tar Ogar! Long live the warchief!

I have read the book itself (not the app ) But i'm sure the story is the same, i highly recommend this book the story is great i read it with joy and pleasure, so download it
