THE BURNING LEGION HAS COME.
Led by the mighty Archimonde, scores of demonic soldiers now
march across the lands of Kalimdor, leaving a trail of death and
devastation in their wake. At the heart of the fiery invasion
stands the mystic Well of Eternity — once the source of the night
elves'' arcane power. But now the Well''s energies have been defiled
and twisted, for Queen Azshara and her Highborne will stop at
nothing to commune with their newfound god: the fiery Lord of the
Burning Legion...Sargeras.
The night elf defenders, led by the young druid, Malfurion
Stormrage, and the wizard, Krasus, fight a desperate battle to hold
back the Legion''s terrible onslaught. Though only embers of hope
remain, an ancient power has risen to aid the world in its darkest
hour. The dragons — led by the powerful Aspect, Neltharion — have
forged a weapon of incalculable power: the Dragon Soul, an artifact
capable of driving the Legion from the world forever. But its use
may cost far more than any could have foreseen.
The second novel in an original trilogy of magic, warfare, and
heroism based on the bestselling, award-winning electronic game
series from Blizzard Entertainment.
