Posted on 14 October 2018 by William King

Behind the legend stands a being hungry for justice and vengeance as the adventure, intrigue, and heroism of World of Warcraft, the global phenomenon, rise to a new level.You are not prepared.Illidan Stormrage is one of the most powerful beings ever to walk the lands of Azeroth He is also one of the least understood Behind his legend, beneath his enigmatic mission, lies a brilliant mind whose machinations are comprehended by few and trusted by even fewer Illidan s righteous reign of justice and vengeance has begun.Long ago, the night elf sorcerer Illidan infiltrated the demonic Burning Legion to ward off its invasion of Azeroth Instead of hailing him as a hero, his own kind branded him the Betrayer, questioning his intentions after he appeared to aid the demon lords For ten thousand years, he languished in prison vilified, isolated, but never forgetting his purpose.Now the Legion has returned, and there is only one champion who can truly stand against it Released from his bonds, Illidan prepares for the final confrontation in the alien realm of Outland, gathering an army of grotesque fel orcs, serpentine naga, cunning blood elves, and twisted demon hunters to his side He alone knows what deeply hidden motives guide his hand he alone understands the price that must be paid to defeat the enemies of creation Yet as before, he is assailed by those who see his schemes as a cynical quest for power, including the night elf Maiev Shadowsong, his former jailor Warden Shadowsong and her Watchers have pursued the Betrayer to Outland to exact retribution for his crimes, and she will not rest until Illidan is in her custody or in his grave.

even named a cat after him Parts of the story were good like the process of becoming a demon hunter , but I found big chunks of it to be boring The characters didn t have much depth to them I guess I just expected .I ve been a fan of the World of Warcraft game for quite a while now, and inevitably my fandom led me to exploring the lore a bitin depth I got my start in the game during the Burning

favourite WoW expansion, so this book gave me so much pleasure Almost entire book took action in Outland I knew every single location that was mentioned I think that for that reason only this is so
