A completely original Warcraft novel set in an entirely new world.
Humans: Years of warfare have temporarily united humanity. An ambitious king seeks to conquer the entire Storm Continent. He has led his armies north and west, seizing vast lands and populations. Now he commands the Blood Elf, dwarf, and orc tribes, setting his sights on even greater spoils of victory.
Elves: To repel the human invasion, Aileen Starfall, guardian of the World Tree, casts an ancient forbidden spell and turns back the first human assault. But the immense strain and damage to the World Tree allow an ancient spirit to invade her body. Is it a blessing or a curse?
Orcs: Hundreds of tribes are scattered across the northern wastelands. Their outdated customs and scarce resources have made capable leaders eager to unite them.
Undead: A throne lies entombed beneath the ice of the far north, sealed by the power of the World Tree. Over tens of thousands of years, every living creature on the Storm Continent has forgotten the undead ever existed. The damage to the World Tree gives them a glimmer of hope. Once they break the seal, they will cover the land in bones.
