World of Warcraft: Vol'jin: Shadows of the Horde

By: Michael A. Stackpole

Narrated by: Scott Brick

A brand-new novel set in the universe of the record-breaking, internationally bestselling video game World of Warcraft!

War is coming.

Vol’jin, courageous leader of the Darkspear tribe: his strength and cunning are unmatched even among the Horde’s most exalted champions. Now on the legendary continent of Pandaria, the troll chieftain faces his greatest trial yet, one that may redefine his purpose in the World of Warcraft.

Warchief Garrosh’s assassins strike at Vol’jin, leaving him at death’s door. But fate smiles on the wounded Darkspear leader when renowned brewmaster Chen Stormstout transports him to the safety of an isolated mountain monastery. There, Vol’jin wrestles with old hatreds smoldering between the Alliance and the Horde as he struggles to recover alongside a mysterious human soldier.

Yet this is only the beginning of Vol’jin’s worries. Soon, he becomes embroiled in an invasion of Pandaria launched by the Zandalari, revered trolls driven by dreams of conquest and power. This ancient tribe offers Vol’jin a chance to seize the glory that is the birthright of all trolls . . . an offer made even more tempting after Garrosh’s brazen treachery.

Amid these troubling events, Vol’jin is rocked by intense visions depicting his race’s grand history. As he questions where his loyalties lie, he knows he must make a choice about his own destiny that could save his people or damn them to languish under Garrosh’s heel in the Shadows of the Horde.

Amazing Tale from the Warcraft Saga!

The story was amazing. The edit was fantastic. The voice actor was absolutely perfect! Definitely worth the purchase.

Good troll experience

The content was good and the narrator was very trollish per se. I'd recommend to any wow fans, include a good indepth into what happened to voljin

One of the better WoW novels

The untold story of that guy who was warchief for a whole expansion, notable for... that one cutscene where he congratulates you on your tier 3 garrison. Did you know he also helped fight off an army of zandalari trolls using kung fu, with just a few dozen panda monks and his human BFF that never gets mentioned again? Apparently that wasn't cool enough for Mists of Pandaria. Stop whining and do your dailies.

The monks' strength is all over the place.

If you want to hear Taren Zhu possibly being a god among men, or Chen creating peel off faces, this is what you need.

Best wow narration

Not only was the story amazing, but the narration blew it away. This was a great listen and highly recommend it to other wow fans.
