By: Christie Golden

Narrated by: Christie Golden

The book World of Warcraft fans have been clamoring for - the true story behind one of the Warcraft universe’s most terrifying villains, Arthas the Lich King.

Author Christie Golden does for Arthas what she once did for the Orc Lord Thrall in the best-selling Warcraft: Lord of the Clans, in another epic exploration of one of the key characters from the 11-million subscriber massively multiplayer online role-playing game.

Exactly what you're looking for.

From his early childhood to the birth of the Lich King we know and love.

A Must Listen

Excellent story fitting for a king. Narrator excels at making tone very important for points in the story that need it.

The best

First book to hear and it was a magnificent rollercoaster of emotions that i would recommend

The flagship

This is what made Warcraft what it is. Great story of Arthas truly shows his nature and the kind of person he is, more than what the game shows him as.

Amazing, all around

Absolutely loved it, very cool to hear about things from game that I have played many hours of (Warcraft 3 and WoW) and still have a different perspective on things with the descriptive details.

I enjoyed it!

I enjoyed it. The narration is not as bad as what other reviewers say. Yes it could of been better if she could do the male voices better but it was better than many other narrators I’ve listened too. The story was good. It’s been a long time since I played the game so don’t remember everything but seemed like everything was in there. I wish it would have gone more in detail in some sections but overall I would recommend this book to Warcraft fans.

Nostalgic entertainment, I loved it

It was wonderful flashing back to a time in my youth. Reliving the story was awesome.

Justice for Arthas

This book brings a new level of understanding behind our much loved prince before his turn to darkness. I could feel the WC3 cinematics as the book was read to me. Magnificent job, can't wait to listen to the rest of them!!

Just a recount

it's a good book. the first act is new lore for Arthas but act 2 and 3 are just a retellingof wc3 the epilogue is new lore..

A Timeless Classic

The Narrator is excellent the story begins a little slow and then before you know it you never will want to press pause. If you're a fan of Warcraft, this is a must read. If you're looking to get into Warcraft lore this is a great place to start. Even if you've never heard of Warcraft you will still enjoy this story.
