In the wake of the Cataclysm, conflict has engulfed every corner of Azeroth. Hungering for more resources amid the turmoil, the Horde has pressed into Ashenvale to feed its burgeoning war machine. There, acting warchief Garrosh Hellscream has employed a brutal new tactic to conquer the region and crush its night elf defenders, a move that will cripple the Alliance’s power throughout the World of Warcraft.

Unaware of the disaster brewing in Ashenvale, the night elves’ legendary leaders, High Priestess Tyrande Whisperwind and Archdruid Malfurion Stormrage, conduct a summit near Darnassus in order to vote the proud worgen of Gilneas into the Alliance. However, resentment of Gilneas and its ruler, Genn Greymane, runs deep in Stormwind’s King Varian Wrynn. His refusal to forgive Genn for closing his nation off from the rest of the world years ago endangers more than just the summit: it threatens to unravel the Alliance itself.

Varian’s animosity is only one of many unsettling developments in Darnassus. An uneasiness creeps over the once-immortal night elves as the first of them fall victim to the infirmities of age. While they cope with their mortality, tensions flare over the reintroduction of the Highborne, formerly the highest caste of night elf nobility, into their society. Many night elves are unable to pardon the Highborne for the destruction unleashed on Azeroth millennia ago by their reckless use of magic.

When a murdered Highborne is discovered on the outskirts of Darnassus, Malfurion and Tyrande move to stop further bloodshed and unrest by appointing one of the night elves’ most cunning and skilled agents to find the killer: the renowned warden Maiev Shadowsong. Yet with all that is transpiring in Darnassus, the Alliance might be powerless to stop the relentless new warchief Garrosh from seizing the whole of Ashenvale.

... talking about WoW lore you probably know he's a pretty controversial writer--not for WHAT he writes

April 8, 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

So Knaak is Knaak and if you spend any time talking about WoW lore you probably know he's a pretty controversial writer--not for WHAT he writes, but for the quality and enjoyability of how he writes. To me this is arguably his best book. There is a LOT happening that could have been possibly toned down (I don't know how many of the subplots were required from on-high, but at least some of them feel like Knaak-specific stuff).

There's a lot going on, some of it feels sloppy, but most of it is interesting. It answers some major questions I think people getting into the lore might have and while it causes some new ones that are left unanswered in lore in general, none of those felt very major. If you like Varian, I think it's a good idea to read this one.

Mislead

January 29, 2013

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

The book is one of unique taste. I don't think it was bad, just I'm not interested in Night elves. I bought this book because I thought it will be about the guy on the cover Varian. When in fact more than 70% of it is about Night elves and their mystery assassin. If I wasn't such a Varian fan I'll give this a book a thumb down. The book title said wolfheart, so you expect to see most of the book talk about worgens and Varian but it did not. The assassin killing highborne should have been side story at best not the main piece.
If the worgen and King varian plot switch places with the night elf and the assassin plot it would be a whole new story. I meant the book should be called Jarod's journey not wolfheart because it barely dealt with the subject. I'm just saying, if you want to buy this book to know more about Varian or the worgens don't. Just read wiki page. If you want to know more about the night elfs then go and buy it. I insist, the title though is misleading as hell

Entertaining and true to Warcraft

I am so happy there are excellent writers like A. Knaak who can sincerely portrait a game universe, especially one of the richest of all (Warcraft), and still make the story very interesting. I hope they give him all the significant Blizzard novels, if not all, to write instead of the extremely boring and nauseating Christie Golden.

This story focuses on all the significant events concerning the alliance just prior to the cataclysm, with a special focus on the night elves. Here you will follow the journey which the Worgens took to join the alliance, as well as some insight into their origins. You will witness the return of the highborne into the night elf society, and the beginning of the effect of mortality on the night elves. Nearly all the known night elves make an appearance. Meanwhile, the horde, under Garrosh himself, attack Ashenvale using some new tactics. Varian Wrynn is on of the main focuses in this novel, as well as his relationship with the Worgen.

If you enjoy the Warcraft lore, I highly recommend this novel to you.

Wolfheart

December 31, 2011

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I bought this book for my husband for Christmas. He's read all the other World of Warcraft books and he'd been mentioning for a while that he wanted to add Wolfheart to his collection. As is usual with him, he finished the book in just a few days. Actually, he can usually do it in about a day, but I had a baby in October and he's been a stay-at-home dad since I went back to work at the end of November. He said he enjoyed the book, although he prefers the stories that are written by Christie Golden better. Apparently, Knaak has a habit of incorporating dragons into his books even when it's not quite appropriate. Also, the story bounces around quite a bit and it can be hard to keep track of what's going on. Other than that, my husband liked the book and was on Amazon less than an hour after he finished it, looking to see if any more World of Warcraft books were scheduled to come out soon. I know I'll be keeping an eye out for them as well.

Another classic by Knaak

January 11, 2013

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I loved this book a lot and for several reasons. For one it digs deeper into WoW lore and connects gaps created from the game and short stories Blizzard had published on their WoW community site. I personally play all Horde characters on World of Warcraft but this didn't stop me from enjoying a book about Alliance characters. The story centers mainly around King Varian Wrynn of Stormwind and the re-acceptance of Gilneas into the alliance. Varian has some serious issues about Gilneas and its choice to back out of the conflicts that claimed most of his family and home, thus creating unease among Alliance leaders. The night elf leaders Malfurion and Tyrande know that having the Worgen as part of the Alliance is essential to its survival but underestimate how far Varian's hatred goes. Maiev Shadowsong of Warcraft 3: Frozen Throne and briefly the Black Temple raid in Burning crusade, makes a return in this story and even plays a pivitol role which kind of sets her up for some inclusion in the game later on. She's just as fanatical as before in whatever task is presented to her but this time she is hindered by the return of her brother Jarod Shadowsong, a former night elf general from earlier wars.

If you love WoW lore even a little bit this one is a must read. It felt a lot more focused and better kept my interest than Knaak's last book Stormrage, which was still an excellent book, but this one definately felt a lot better once I'd reached the end. It is worth $8(I bought the Kindle edition) and defiantely worth the time it takes to read.

Worth it for the questions unanswered.

The title can be misleading, but it does explore how Varian developed into who he is. So if you wondering well how did he go from being a jerk and wanting to murder the horde outright to more level headed then read this. It also explores more into how Maeiv lost her mind as well. It may lack the initial kick of excitement, but it feels in a lot of gaps lore wise.

For the Alliance! Great insight to add to your lore

If you love Varian .. you will love this - not going to try and go into the specifics because each person will read and visualize differently. Although I'm more of a Christie Golden fan for WOW books, Knaak won me over with this one. Sorry Christie.
