A brand-new novel set in the universe of the record-breaking, internationally bestselling video game World of Warcraft! War is coming. Vol'jin, courageous leader of the Darkspear tribe: his strength and cunning are unmatched even among the Horde's most exalted champions. Now on the legendary continent of Pandaria, the troll chieftain faces his greatest trial yet, one that may redefine his purpose in the 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. Yet this is only the beginning of Vol'jin's worries. Soon, he becomes embroiled in an invasion of Pandaria launched by the Zandalari, revered trolls driven by dreams of conquest and power. This ancient tribe offers Vol'jin a chance to seize the glory that is the birthright of all trolls . . . an offer made even more tempting after Garrosh's brazen treachery. Amid these troubling events, Vol'jin is rocked by intense visions depicting his race's grand history. As he questions where his loyalties lie, he knows he must make a choice about his own destiny that could save his people or damn them to languish under Garrosh's heel in the Shadows of the Horde.… (más)

I've read most of the WoW books and this is definitely one of the better ones. My primary critique is that it could have used more female characters and I don't much care for Khal'ak's storyline, at least in regard to her interactions with Vol'jin (I mean would he have considered sleeping with a male troll? No). I like that one of the group leaders was female and it's neat to see a book featuring a female troll as a primary cast member... But the no homo nature of WoW books never ceases to amaze.

The story was nice and I enjoyed the different character perspectives. I always like how badass WoW protags get. In other stories this can be a problem, which is typically why there's a training montage (and there's one here sorta so they only half got around it) but in WoW most of the characters are highly skilled, albeit in specific areas, and it's nice to see a good writer deal with that.

I'm glad to see Chen settling down, and his interactions with others are always interesting. It reminds me a lot of the personality for General Iroh in "Avatar: The Legend of Aang", so that was nice.

A nice easy read. A good addition to the universe. ( )

If the author doesn't play wow then he is one heck of a fine study on the subject. There exists in this book so many small points that only someone who plays would even note- like how trolls crouch at times when standing about. So many references, my inner lore nerd was thrilled!

For match up purposes, this book is set right after the Blood in the Snow scenario. Garrosh, still the Horde Warchief, gives Voljin a little mission and he accepts fully knowing it was a trap.

I was delighted with this book. It's definitely one of the best wow books out there. Voljin is my favorite lore character and I enjoyed the authors take. While I knew he would selflessly put his family before himself, I never knew of the pride he felt over his race and of being a shadow hunter. Learning about how trolls view the Loa and how shadow hunters view them was very exciting.

Before I gush too much let me just say if u are a wow fan, a troll fan or just a big ol' lore nerd like me, get this book. ( )

This is the worst WoW novel, in my opinion. It is the epitome of telling, not showing. Normally WoW novels get my heart pumping with emotional highs & lows, but this was just a steady meh. I miss the richness of character & place that are usually present. The author seemed to place more importance on how blood drips off of various body parts than anything else. Very disappointed. ( )

An enjoyable book that expanded the storyline and made Pandaria feel more alive. A few events were only hinted at, if at all, in the game. This is regrettable, as what our heroes accomplish in this book is truly epic. Definitely recommended reading for any Warcraft fan. ( )
