Behind the legend stands a being hungry for justice and vengeance as
the adventure, intrigue, and heroism of World of Warcraft, the global
phenomenon, rise to a new level.
You are not prepared.
Illidan Stormrage is one of the most powerful beings ever to walk the
lands of Azeroth. He is also one of the least understood. Behind his
legend, beneath his enigmatic mission, lies a brilliant mind whose
machinations are comprehended by few--and trusted by even fewer.
Illidan's righteous reign of justice and vengeance has begun.
Long ago, the night elf sorcerer Illidan infiltrated the demonic Burning
Legion to ward off its invasion of Azeroth. Instead of hailing him as a
hero, his own kind branded him the Betrayer, questioning his intentions
after he appeared to aid the demon lords. For ten thousand years, he
languished in prison--vilified, isolated, but never forgetting his
purpose.
Now the Legion has returned, and there is only one champion who can
truly stand against it. Released from his bonds, Illidan prepares for
the final confrontation in the alien realm of Outland, gathering an army
of grotesque fel orcs, serpentine naga, cunning blood elves, and twisted
demon hunters to his side. He alone knows what deeply hidden motives
guide his hand; he alone understands the price that must be paid to
defeat the enemies of creation. Yet as before, he is assailed by those
who see his schemes as a cynical quest for power, including the night
elf Maiev Shadowsong, his former jailor. Warden Shadowsong and her
Watchers have pursued the Betrayer to Outland to exact retribution for
his crimes, and she will not rest until Illidan is in her custody . . .
or in his grave.
