About This Audiobook

Garrosh Hellscream's devastating assault on Theramore marks a turning point in Azeroth's balance of power — and for Jaina Proudmoore, it is the moment that reshapes her understanding of peace, trust, and what Horde ambition actually costs. Tides of War follows the most powerful human mage and longtime Alliance leader through the aftermath of the bombing and into a decision that will define her character for years of storytelling to come. Christie Golden works the novel's emotional territory with genuine care.

Justine Eyre narrates with a clear command of the fantasy setting's register — she brings Jaina's arc from diplomat to something darker with the emotional credibility the story requires. The World of Warcraft novels function best when they engage with the franchise's established characters in moments of genuine transformation, and this is one of those moments. At just over 12 hours, Tides of War is a pivotal entry in the Warcraft fiction canon.
