Love, hate, and a sacrifice on the battlefield, this novel has everything involved in it. War has ended apparently but there is much more in stock for everyone. The young Warchief proved to be the chosen one who destroyed every enemy in the way and finally the curse has also been lifted. Orcs fought hard against the enemies and their lust for power or love of war has broken them from the inside as well. World of Draenor is now in full control of the orcs and they are in no mood for a very big war anymore.
So developing an alliance with the neighbors seemed to be the perfect idea for them. Meanwhile, a dark lord plans to take control of the empire when the orcs and their allies are in no position to fight with their true potential. The enemy brings all kinds of tools to the battlefield including magic and magical creatures. Finally, the new Warchief has met his match, and the dangers he thought he had eradicated long ago once again hover over his head.
Christie Golden has not only written this novel, but she has also narrated it on her own. World of Warcraft: Exploring Azeroth and Dark Disciple: Star Wars are decorated in the same way by the author and perhaps she knows what the public wants from the inside.
Wars are given the best attention by the author because the war scenes have always been the main strength of such stories. It is the war that describes the strength and courage of a true hero when he faces a deadly enemy, greater in power as well.
