Announcing World of Warcraft: Tides of War by Christie Golden

The next pivotal novel in the unfolding Warcraft saga is now available for pre-order! Written by fan favorite New York Times bestselling author, Christie Golden, Tides of War raises the stakes between the Alliance and Horde and sets the stage for World of Warcraft’s newest game expansion, Mists of Pandaria. We are also proud to reveal the stunning cover art by Glenn Rayne.

About World of Warcraft: Tides of War:

The renowned sorceress Jaina Proudmoore has long struggled to maintain a lasting peace between the Alliance and horde.

But now, as mounting tensions threaten to ignite a new era of conflict, her hopes for peace could be extinguished forever...

Warchief Garrosh, obsessed with assuring the Horde’s supremacy over Kalimdor, launches an all-out attack against Jaina's island home of Theramore. Though the valiant Alliance defenders rush to repel the sudden onslaught, they’ll soon find themselves unprepared for the terrible scope of Garrosh's true plans…

The destruction wrought by the Horde’s brazen attack irrevocably transforms Jaina, propelling the kindhearted diplomat down a path of grief and vengeance that will alter not only her destiny – but the destiny of Azeroth itself.

"Written by fan favorite (...) Christie Golden" Somewhere Richard Knaak is throwing dishes against a wall :P

But I agree, Golden=Win, Jaina=Win, this book should be WinWin

A guildy posted me a copy of "Arthas: Rise of the Lich King" to read and I can't say I thought it was the best fantasy novel I've ever read but it was entertaining enough. As a result I'd probably just be interested in the content of the book, rather than the telling of it...

I bet it will be a good read. I loved reading the shattering. Such a pity that so much of the awesome things that happened in the Shattering people who didn't read it missed out on.

It's a shame that major lore is now something you have to pay extra for...

@Steamsprocke: Just wait a few weeks after its release, and you can find fragments everywhere on the internet :) but I aggree, they should offer it for free after a couple of months

@Steamsprocke: They should provide that as a bonus for Collector's Editions. Would be worth that extra cash you pay for a CE. And it really wouldn't cost Blizzard that much. They'd only see profit, profit and profit :)

"between the Alliance and horde."
We'll destroy Theramore but we'll lose an upper case in the process ? :(
Obvious favoritism towards the Alliance ! (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

"All I ever wanted was to study." <-- GONE! :P

Looking very much forward to this book. The Shattering was a really nice story leading into Cataclysm. I hope this one will be equally good. And since it's Christie Golden, I think it will be :)

Maybe I should try it as an audio book this time...Decisions, decsions :|

Hmm isn't this supposed to take place during MOP? Does that mean MOP will be released at the end of August? I know Blizzard are showing the cinematic on August 16th maybe they'll annouce the release date aswell? I don't know I just guessing :)

@Darkroen: I believe they said that the event of Theramore's siege would be the spark that sets off this renewed war again. I'm expecting this event will probably also introduce the patch with the new class/talent system, or atleast be it's precursor. The expansion itself probably won't be far behind it.

Seeing as they're also releasing the MoP introduction cinematic in August, I doubt it's just coincidence. ^^
