In this follow-up to her New York Times bestseller, The
Shattering, Christie Golden delivers a sensational tie-in to the newest
World of Warcraft game expansion, now in paperback!
When Azeroth was young, the noble titans appointed the five great
dragonflights to safeguard the budding world. Each of the flights'
leaders was imbued with a portion of the titans' vast cosmic powers.
Together, these majestic Dragon Aspects committed themselves to
thwarting any force that threatened the safety of Azeroth.
More than 10,000 years ago, a betrayal by the maddened black Dragon
Aspect, Deathwing, shattered the strength and unity of the
dragonflights. His most recent assault on Azeroth--the Cataclysm--has
left the world in turmoil. At the Maelstrom, the center of Azeroth's
instability, former Horde warchief Thrall and other accomplished shaman
struggle to keep the world from tearing apart in the wake of Deathwing's
attack. Yet a battle also rages within Thrall regarding his new life in
the shamanic Earthen Ring, hampering his normally unparalleled
abilities.
Of even greater concern is a bleak and terrifying possible future
glimpsed by the mysterious green Dragon Aspect, Ysera: the Hour of
Twilight. Before this apocalyptic vision comes to pass, Thrall must
purge his own doubts in order to discover his purpose in the world and
aid Azeroth's dragonflights as they face the Twilight of the Aspects.
