About this listen

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The epic, definitive story of Sylvanas Windrunner, one of World of Warcraft’s most enduring and iconic characters, as chronicled by bestselling author Christie Golden.

Ranger-General. Banshee Queen. Warchief. Sylvanas Windrunner has borne many titles. To some, she is a hero—to others, a villain. But whether in pursuit of justice, vengeance, or something more, Sylvanas has always sought to control her own destiny.

The power to achieve her goals has never been closer, as Sylvanas works alongside the Jailer to liberate all Azeroth from the prison of fate. Her final task? Secure the fealty of their prisoner—King Anduin Wrynn.

To succeed, Sylvanas will be forced to reflect on the harrowing path that brought her to the Jailer’s side and to reveal her truest self to her greatest rival. Here, Sylvanas’s complete story is laid bare: the breaking of the Windrunner family and her rise to Ranger- General; her own death at the hands of Arthas and her renewed purpose in founding the Forsaken; the moment she first beheld the Maw and understood the true consequences of what lay beyond the veil of death.

But as her moment of victory draws near, Sylvanas Windrunner will make a choice that may ultimately come to define her. A choice that’s hers to make.

Strong start but to rushed of an ending.

Although I truly enjoy this book, the only critique I have would be to have put more thought and story into the second half of the book. I found it started off great but the second half I felt was rushed especially the ending. Aside from that it was a very enjoyable book.

Rushed second half

Christie Golden is a poet, by far the best author of the Warcraft novels. This one has a phenomenal first act with Sylvanas and her life before she was the Banshee Queen, but after that the story seems really rushed and a tad confusing. Still a good listen though.

It makes sense now

They should have included this in the game. Loved the book, and have always been and will always be a loyal Sylvanas fan. Of the Warcraft novels, this is favorite, albeit I'm bias because it's about my favorite character. For the Dark Lady, always.

Great backstory to Sylvanas.

Controversial, but I liked Shadowlands. Or maybe I just like seeing more of Sylvanas' story fleshed out. Having Patty Mattson read the novel is the cherry on top. Great experience.

Cleaning up Blizzard's mess

Golden does some heavy lifting tidying up Shadowland's horrendous storytelling and lore destruction. Well-done.

Really filled in the blanks for shadowlands.

Book had good pacing, narration. Pretty much summarizes the character story of Sylvanas. I saw the characters motivation in a new light.
