The Last Guardian (Warcraft, Book 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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

One of my favorite books.

This book takes place before, and during Warcraft: Orcs and Humans. It is the story of Medivh, told from the view of Khadgar, his newfound apprentice. It fully explains Medivh's actions in the games, though I don't want to spoil that. It also has a few characters people who played WC 1 and 2...

Very entertaining, even for the WarCraft illiterate

The Last Guardian is the third of three WarCraft books. I've read Books One and Three, but not Two. No matter. One and Three demonstrate obvious relations, but they are stand-alone stories, and I suspect Book Two is as well.And the story is fine.The most powerful mage in the land is haunted by...

Short and simple, but good.

While this is the quickest read of the three Warcraft books (with less pages and larger type set) it still does a lot to reveal some of the core history behind the world of Azeroth. The mad wizard Medivh has been a cornerstone of the Warcraft story from the begining and this book does a great...

History and Mystery in Azeroth

This book is a must for any Warcraft fan who values the characters and storyline of the games. In essence a biography of Medivh the Sorceror, from the point of view of Khadgar, a young wizard who is sent to be his apprentice, as well as to spy on him for the council of wizards the Kirin Tor....

Another great addition to Warcraft Lore

Of all the books in the Warcraft line, I cannot say that this is my favorite, however it was one of the most intriguing.Going way back into the days of the first Warcraft game, The Last Guardian tells the tragic story of Medivh. Since it was not well explained in the first Warcraft game, I found...
