Arator, son of Turalyon and Alleria Windrunner, grew up without parents who spent a thousand years fighting the Burning Legion and came back barely older. Now, after the events in Khaz Algar, he goes to investigate a strange glow at a long-abandoned Legion base, and his parents insist on coming along.
What this adds if you've played the games
Midnight's prequel novel, and mostly a family story: Arator trying to understand parents he barely knows, and they him. If Turalyon and Alleria have felt like strangers since Legion, this gives them depth, and Arator walks straight from it into Midnight's opening. Golden handles the family tension better than the demon plot. Read it between The War Within and Midnight.
