About this audiobook
An official prequel novel to The Battle for Azeroth, Blizzard Entertainment's next expansion to the critically acclaimed World of Warcraft videogame.
Azeroth is dying.
The Horde and the Alliance defeated the demonic Burning Legion, but a dire catastrophe is unfolding deep below the surface of the world. There is a mortal wound in the heart of Azeroth, struck by the sword of the fallen titan Sargeras in a final act of cruelty.
For Anduin Wrynn, king of Stormwind, and Sylvanas Windrunner, warchief of the Horde and queen of the Forsaken, there is little time to rebuild what remains and even less to mourn what was lost. Azeroth's devastating wound has revealed a mysterious material known as Azerite. In the right hands, this strange golden substance is capable of incredible feats of creation; in the wrong ones, it could bring forth unthinkable destruction.
As Alliance and Horde forces race to uncover the secrets of Azerite and heal the wounded world, Anduin enacts a desperate plan aimed at forging a lasting peace between the factions. Azerite jeopardizes the balance of power, and so Anduin must gain the trust of Sylvanas. But, as ever, the Dark Lady has her own machinations.
For peace to be possible, generations of bloodshed and hatred must be brought to an end. But there are truths that neither side is willing to accept and ambitions they are loath to relinquish. As Alliance and Horde alike grasp for the Azerite’s power, their simmering conflict threatens to reignite all-out war—a war that would spell doom for Azeroth.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I think it is really great that they got one of the voice actors to read this book. I liked it, but I am biased as I am a Warcraft fan.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It’s anduins voice actor I mean cmon
V good book, was heavily invested - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5As a story to connect the latest two expansions of world of Warcraft it does a great job, but as a book it is lacking a coherent story and in the end, is dissapointing. All this aside, you should read or listen to this book to get a good look at the story leading to the battle for azeroth.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Amazing... must read if you love Warcraft lore. Ending was awesome who would have.... haha jk I won’t be that person that spoils it.
