The epic, definitive story of Sylvanas Windrunner, one of World of Warcraft's most enduring and iconic characters, as chronicled by best-selling 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.
W Azeroth dotychczas panował pokój, lecz teraz kraina ta stoi na skraju wojny – jej cywilizacja musi stawić czoła przerażającej rasie najeźdźców: wojowniczych orków, którzy uciekają ze swego konającego świata i zamierzają podbić inny. Kiedy otwiera się łączący światy portal, jedna armia staje w obliczu zniszczenia, druga – zagłady. Dwaj bohaterowie z dwóch wrogich sobie stron zmierzają do konfrontacji, która rozstrzygnie o losie ich rodzin, poddanych i ojczyzn. Tak oto rozpoczyna się opowieść o potędze i poświęceniu, w której wojna ma niejedno oblicze, a każdy walczy o słuszną z jego punktu widzenia sprawę.

Set in the aftermath of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, this action-packed prequel to the hotly anticipated videogame Battlefront II introduces the Empire’s elite force: Inferno Squad.
After the humiliating theft of the Death Star plans and the destruction of the battle station, the Empire is on the defensive. But not for long. In retaliation, the elite Imperial soldiers of Inferno Squad have been called in for the crucial mission of infiltrating and eliminating the Partisans—the rebel faction once led by notorious Republic freedom fighter Saw Gerrera.
Following the death of their leader, the Partisans have carried on his extremist legacy, determined to thwart the Empire—no matter the cost. Now Inferno Squad must prove its status as the best of the best and take down the Partisans from within. But the growing threat of being discovered in their enemy’s midst turns an already dangerous operation into a do-or-die acid test they dare not fail. To protect and preserve the Empire, to what lengths will Inferno Squad go . . . and how far beyond them?
The Rebellion may have heroes like Jyn Erso and Luke Skywalker. But the Empire has Inferno Squad.
