World of Warcraft: The Shattering - Prelude to Cataclysm

More about the book

Thrall, the wise shaman and warchief of the Horde, senses a disturbing change in Azeroth. Long ago, the titans imprisoned the destructive native elementals within the Elemental Plane, but many have returned to the world. Shaman like Thrall have learned to communicate with these spirits, calming their chaos and restoring balance. However, Thrall discovers that the elementals no longer respond to his call; the connection has weakened, indicating that Azeroth is in distress. As he seeks answers, Thrall grapples with the orcs' uncertain future, facing dwindling resources and rising tensions with the night elves. Concurrently, King Varian Wrynn of Stormwind contemplates a violent response to the escalating conflict between the Alliance and the Horde, a stance that risks alienating his allies and his son, Anduin. The young prince, seeking his own identity, may find himself caught in the political turmoil threatening to destabilize the realm. As the fate of Azeroth's races hangs in the balance, the erratic behavior of the elemental spirits serves as a troubling harbinger of the impending cataclysm.
