Když tajemný cizinec Gul‘dan, zlověstný černokněžník se zelenou kůží, přišel poprvé za Garadem, náčelníkem klanu Frostwolf, nabídl mu místo v Hordě a přizval ho na výpravu do vzdálené zaslíbené země, která se měla stát novým domovem orků. Durotanův otec ho však rázně odmítl, protože věřil, že jeho klan se o sebe i v těžkých časech dokáže postarat sám. Nyní je náčelníkem Durotan, přičemž stojí před stejnou volbou jako otec. Doba, ve které žije, je však mnohem krutější, než když se musel rozhodovat Garad. Zimy jsou stále delší a nemilosrdnější, zvěře ubývá, krajem táhnou krvelační Rudí chodci a samotní duchové živlů se pomalu obracejí proti orkům, kteří je po dlouhá staletí uctívali. Gul‘danem přislíbená země nikdy nebyla lákavější, ale opravdu stojí za obětování prastarých tradic, domova… a svobody?

A Köztársaság és a szeparatisták közt dúló háború lassan darabokra szaggatja a galaxist. Dooku gróf, az árulóvá lett Jedi mester egyre brutálisabb taktikákhoz folyamodik, ezért hiába a Jedi lovagok elszántsága, a konfliktus egyre több áldozatot követel. Amikor Dooku utasítására a szeparatisták megsemmisítenek egy menekülteket szállító flottát, a Jedi Tanács úgy dönt, elérkezett az idő, hogy leszámoljanak a gróffal. Dooku azonban halálos ellenfél még a legtapasztaltabb fejvadász számára is, ezért a Tanács kétségbeesett lépésre szánja el magát: Quinlan Vos Jedi mestert és a hírhedt Sith bérgyilkost, Asajj Ventresst bízzák meg a feladattal, hogy elpusztítsák a grófot. Noha a Jedik nem bíznak Dooku egykori tanítványában, Ventress gyűlölete olyan erős korábbi mestere iránt, hogy még legősibb ellenségeivel is készségesen szövetkezik, hogy végezhessen vele. Kezdetben úgy tűnik, hogy ők a legalkalmasabbak erre az akcióra, ám kettejük ellentmondásos kapcsolata hamarosan veszélybe sodorja az egész küldetés sikerét...

The brutal siege of Orgrimmar is over. Alliance and Horde forces have stripped Garrosh Hellscream, one of the most reviled figures on Azeroth, of his title as warchief. His thirst for conquest devastated cities, nearly tore the Horde apart, and destroyed countless lives. Now, on the legendary continent of Pandaria, he will stand trial for his transgressions. Renowned leaders from across the world have gathered to witness this historic event. As the trial unfolds, agents of the bronze dragonflight present shocking visions of Garrosh's atrocities. For many of those in attendance, these glimpses into history force them to relive painful memories and even question their own innocence or guilt. For others, the chilling details stoke the flames of their hatred. Unbeknownst to anyone, shadowy forces are at work on Azeroth, threatening not only the court's ability to mete out justice...but also the lives of everyone at the trial.

Few moments in history have proven as timelessly fascinating as the lawless Golden Age of Piracy, which was largely played out in the Caribbean of the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. In this time of rebellion, fortune, intrigue, and adventure, Blackbeard stands as one of the most fearsome captains to have ever sailed the seas. Now, as the latest historical figure to take center stage in the Assassin's Creed(R) franchise, Blackbeard joins the ranks of Edward Kenway--father of Haytham Kenway and grandfather of Connor--as they navigate troubled island waters and carve out their destinies. Thoughtfully crafted to resemble an authentic pirate artifact, this illustrated journal delivers a unique insider's view into the world of the game through fascinating entries that provide a firsthand account of the day-to-day lives of the characters. This one-of-a-kind graphic novel -- featuring beautifully etched illustrations and portraits, a wanted poster, removable Letter of Marque, torn pages ripped out by Blackbeard himself, and more -- brings the bold worlds of Blackbeard and Kenway strikingly to life.

Thrall, wise shaman and the war chief of the Horde, has sensed a disturbing change ...Long ago, Azeroth's destructive native elementals raged across the world until the benevolent titans imprisoned them within the Elemental Plane. Despite the titans' intervention, many elementals have ended up back on Azeroth. Over the ages, shaman like Thrall have communed with these spirits and, through patience and dedication, learned to soothe roaring infernos, bring rain to sun-scorched lands, and otherwise temper the elementals' ruinous influence on the world of Azeroth. Now Thrall has discovered that the elementals no longer heed the shaman's call. While Thrall seeks answers to what ails the confused elements, he also wrestles with the orcs' precarious future as his people face dwindling supplies and growing hostility with their night elf neighbours. The fate of Azeroth's great races is shrouded in a fog of uncertainty, and the erratic behaviour of the elemental spirits, troubling though it is, may only be the first ominous warning sign of the cataclysm to come.
