Sylvanas (World of Warcraft)
ByPublisher Description
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The epic, definitive story of Sylvanas Windrunner, one of World of Warcraft’s most enduring and iconic characters, as chronicled by bestselling 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.

“This book got a few parts of my heart that I had not expected. I love Wow and getting some background into one of the most iconic characters was nice.”Alexandra Skoulikas

“Sylvanas is such a complex character and finally understanding her actions and thought process made me love her character more despite the villainous and heinous acts she commits.
Learning her history before she became the banshee queen, and then the transformation that her rage brought on, made all the crimes she committed less out of left field and something tangible to grasp.
Great writing and follows the lore, and game really well. Explains her actions in all expansions, her descent to madness.
I do wish **spoiler** that we got to read more of her redemption arc, i.e. her regaining her soul. Returning to that Sylvanas from the beginning of the book would have given the book a more satisfactory ending vs having to look up all the cinematics to understand the ending better. This is because I no longer play the game and recommending this book and series to non players makes it hard for them to understand and keep up unless they watch cinematics to fill in the blanks.”
