The Last Guardian (Warcraft, Book 3) (No.3)
In the mist-shrouded haze of the past, long before the beginning of recorded time, there stood the world of Azeroth. Every kind of magical being strode the countryside among the tribes of man, and all was at peace — until the arrival of the demons and horrors of the Burning Legion and their baneful Lord Sargeras, dark god of chaotic magic. Now Dragons, Dwarves, Elves, Goblins, Humans, and Orcs all vie for supremacy across the scattered kingdoms — part of a grand, malevolent scheme that will determine the fate of the world of
The Guardians of Tirisfal: a line of champions imbued with godlike powers, each one through the ages charged with fighting a lonely secret war against the Burning Legion. Medivh was fated from birth to become the greatest and most powerful of this noble order. But from the beginning a darkness tainted his soul, corrupting his innocence and turning to evil the powers that should have fought for good. Torn by two destinies, Medivh’s struggle against the malice within him became one with the fate of Azeroth itself…and changed the world forever.

User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars The best of the Warcraft novels
I’ve now read almost every book that is actual novel form in the Warcraft / World of Warcraft series… and this one is the best, IMHO. It is well written, it is true to lore without trying to add to much, it fleshes out popular characters, and the pacing is decent throughout.
I read this book fourth because I went in order of chronology (War of the Ancients TECHNICALLY takes place after this, but I read them first because it is basically the retelling of the WotA, just with a twist), but I wish I’d have saved it. None of the others have matched it yet.
I’d give it a 4/4.5 on just a general book scale, 5 out of the Warcraft books. True to the theme, and a good read overall.
5 Stars Excellent read!
As with most books, it took a chapter or two to really get into it. This book uses many familiar places within the Warcraft lore and was a most EXCELLENT read! The details and descriptions are just awesome.
I had a hard time putting it down. Highly recommended if you love the Warcraft lore.
5 Stars Great WOW history book.
Helped me understand alot of the backstory of the game. The best was seeing Khadgar in Shatt after I had finished the book, awesome. I would reccomend this book to anyone who plays WOW, or anyone that just enjoys fantasy novels.
3 Stars This book was written chronologically out of order
This book should have been book one to the series, as it covers the story from the first game. I’m surprised for such a good author how un surprising the book was. If anyone has read the story written in Warcraft 1 manual. It’s basically an expanded edition. Ok read for fantasy/warcraft fans.
4 Stars Warcraft excellence
I read this book book as part of an attempt to understand the history of the warcraft world and it came through in stunning style. A highly enjoyable read.
