Publisher's Summary

The epic, definitive story of Sylvanas Windrunner, one of World of Warcraft’s most enduring and iconic characters, as chronicled by best-selling author Christie Golden. 

Ranger-General. Banshee Queen. Warchief. Sylvanas Windrunner has borne many titles. To some, she is a hero—to others, a villain. But whether in pursuit of justice, vengeance or something more, Sylvanas has always sought to control her own destiny.

The power to achieve her goals has never been closer, as Sylvanas works alongside the Jailer to liberate all Azeroth from the prison of fate. Her final task? Secure the fealty of their prisoner—King Anduin Wrynn.

To succeed, Sylvanas will be forced to reflect on the harrowing path that brought her to the Jailer’s side and to reveal her truest self to her greatest rival. Here, Sylvanas’s complete story is laid bare: the breaking of the Windrunner family and her rise to Ranger-General, her own death at the hands of Arthas and her renewed purpose in founding the Forsaken, the moment she first beheld the Maw and understood the true consequences of what lay beyond the veil of death.

But as her moment of victory draws near, Sylvanas Windrunner will make a choice that may ultimately come to define her. A choice that’s hers to make.

A read to place the storyline in context

Wish they had this level of storyline in-game. Would have made the expansion much better

Nathanos Marris / Blightcaller is great

I think the duel-like conversations and interactions between Nathanos and Sylvanas made this book even more fantastic.

Engaging story

Engaging story, and gave a great insight into the storyline behind shadowlands. Even though the expansion was not my most favourite, I enjoyed hearing Sylvanas story

Sexy elf paling arounds Azeroth towns.

Great overview of the warcraft universe where Sylvanas is concerned, explaining why she's as awesome as she is.

A pleasure to listen to

What can I say, I've been playing WOW for over a decade and leavening more of the lore is always a pleasure. It was absolutely an added joy to have Sylvanas' Sorry read by by Patty Mattson. Her voice is perfect for the role.

Excellent with some difficult to follow moments

Patty Mattson is superb, she has so much range in her performances and emotion in her voice.

The story fills in all the gaps around the events in World of Warcraft and adds so much depth to the world and characters and makes a lot of things make more sense; however, it does rely on you experiencing all of those events.

It jumps around and overlooks some moments in the last act which is a little confusing if these moments aren’t fresh in your mind. Best to refamiliarise yourself first. Probably wouldn’t have been as difficult in a physical book.
