Shadowlands is coming out "this fall", but before we dive into the next World of Warcraft chapter, we will have a new novel to set the stage for that epic experience.
The novel is titled "Shadows rising" and it deals with the Horde vs. Alliance drama from Battle for Azeroth as they set aside all of their differences to battle Sylvanas herself. Her betrayal has led to the creation of multiple factions within the Horde and they're all semi-splintered. Meanwhile, Sylvanas is determined to kill a God and she rallied her forces to achieve that.
If you want to get into the proper mood for Shadowlands, this novel is certainly a good way to do that. A must-read for all WoW fans, for sure.
