Love and War

Kingdom of Shadow

New York Times bestselling author Richard Knaak writes of a Sorceror's search for wealth in a once magical, mysterious lost city… After a lifetime of research and calculation, the Vizerei sorcerer Quov Tsin, thinks he has figured out the secret behind the ruins of the lost city of Ureh. He hires a pack of mercenaries from the West and they set out to search for the wealth of the fabled city — the riches and knowledge that disappeared without a trace along with the people of the ancient city, where mighty sorcerers once sought to gain entrance to Heaven itself. His calculations prove correct and phantoms soon begin to appear in the darkened city. Before long, the ruins return to life, but not as the Mecca they imagined. Instead, as the adventurers become a part of the magical life of the city, they come under the attention of its ruler, Juris Khan. Members of the party begin to disappear. Soon Tsin and the necromancer Zayl begin to suspect the horrible truth, that the quest for Heaven led the ancient sorcerers, and their city, not to Heaven but to Hell… and thanks to their own interference, no barrier will bar the possesed denizens way back into the natural world.

The cataclysm

The Demon Soul

THE BURNING LEGION HAS COME. Led by the mighty Archimonde, scores of demonic soldiers now march across the lands of Kalimdor, leaving a trail of death and devastation in their wake. At the heart of the fiery invasion stands the mystic Well of Eternity — once the source of the night elves' arcane power. But now the Well's energies have been defiled and twisted, for Queen Azshara and her Highborne will stop at nothing to commune with their newfound god: the fiery Lord of the Burning Legion…Sargeras. The night elf defenders, led by the young druid, Malfurion Stormrage, and the wizard, Krasus, fight a desperate battle to hold back the Legion's terrible onslaught. Though only embers of hope remain, an ancient power has risen to aid the world in its darkest hour. The dragons — led by the powerful Aspect, Neltharion — have forged a weapon of incalculable power: the Dragon Soul, an artifact capable of driving the Legion from the world forever. But its use may cost far more than any could have foreseen. The second novel in an original trilogy of magic, warfare, and heroism based on the bestselling, award-winning electronic game series from Blizzard Entertainment.

The hour of wrath draws near... The valiant night elves have been shattered by the loss of their beloved general.

Легенда о Хуме

Весы змея

Нацеленный уничтожить злобный культ Триединого, Ульдиссиан ещё не подозревает, что Инарий — таинственный Пророк Собора Света — исподтишка помогает ему в этом деле. Обуянный идеей вернуть Санктуарию былое процветание, Инарий играет с Ульдиссианом, поставившим перед собой безрассудную задачу уничтожить две крупнейшие мировые религии. Но в игру замешан ещё один участник, который уравнивает силы. Демонесса Лилит, бывшая любовница Инария, сама старается использовать Ульдиссиана как пешку, стремясь сделать из людей армию нефалемов — богоподобных созданий, более могущественных, чем любой ангел или демон, которые могут перевернуть всё сущее и возвысить Лилит до недосягаемых высот.
