In the mist-shrouded past, the world of Azeroth teemed with wonders of every kind. Magical races and ancient beasts strode alongside the tribes of man-until the arrival of the demonic Burning Legion and its baneful lord, Sargeras. Now, dragons, elves, orcs and dwarves all vie for supremacy across their war-torn kingdoms-all part of a grand, malevolent scheme to determine the fate of the world....Day of the Dragon: A mission to free the great Dragonqueen from her Orc captors sends the maverick mage, Rhonin, on a perilous journey into the land of Khaz Modan. He cannot know that a far-reaching conspiracy is behind his quest, or that he will be forced into a dangerous alliance with the most dire of dragons....Lord of the Clans: An orc raised by cruel human masters who sought to mold him into their perfect pawn, Thrall is driven by both the savagery in his heart and the cunning of his upbringing to pursue a destiny he is only beginning to understand-to break his bondage and rediscover the ancient traditions of his people. The Last Guardian: The godlike Guardians of Tirisfal are each charged through the ages with fighting a lonely secret war against the Burning Legion. Medivh is to become their greatest champion. But darkness taints his soul, turning his powers to evil. His struggle against the malice within him becomes one with the fate of Azeroth itself....Of Blood and Honor: The paladin Tirion Fordring had always believed the Orcs were vile and corrupt. But an unexpected act of honor and compassion sets in motion a chain of events that will challenge his most fundamental beliefs and force him to decide, once and for all, who are the men...and who are the monsters.

Snow Fight: A Warcraft Tale

An exciting adventure dealing with the topics of bullying and friendship based on the fictional characters from the award-winning video game World of Warcraft. After nine exciting years of adventuring through the lands of Azeroth-weather it was through playing the game World of Warcraft itself or reading our expanding fiction based on Warcraft's legendary characters; we wanted to take a moment to stop and appreciate how much living in the real world we've all done during the games run.
