Warcraft: War of the Ancients: The Sundering

Richard A. Knaak · 2005

NovelRecommendedabout 11 hours

The war against the Burning Legion comes down to the Well of Eternity itself. Azshara's Highborne are close to bringing the Legion's master into the world, and Malfurion, Tyrande and their allies have to find a way to stop them. Rhonin and Krasus, meanwhile, still don't know whether they can ever go home.

What this adds if you've played the games

Here's where the old night elf world breaks apart, and it's the origin of the Maelstrom, the naga and the high elves. Illidan's choices in this book explain how he's treated for the next ten thousand years, which pays off in Warcraft III and again in Legion. The last third is the strongest stretch of the trilogy. Read the three in order.
