Day of the Dragon

By: Richard A. Knaak

Day of the Dragon is a novel set in the World of Warcraft universe, specifically in The Alliance & Horde era, after the second war, but before the Scourge arrive. 

Plot: A rogue wizard named Rhonin is sent by the council of Dalaran to try and free the red dragon queen Alexstrasza from the Dragonmaw clan in Grim Batol.  Little does Rhonin know, that he was actually sent on this quest by Krasus.  Krasus in his dragon form is named Korialstrasz, and is a former consort to the red Dragonqueen herself.

During his quest to rescue the dragonqueen, he is aided by the unlikely Deathwing of the black dragonflight, who only has selfish motives to extend his power, and revive his flight.

Aided by his companions Vareesa Windrunner, a high elf ranger, and Falstad Dragonreaver, a Wildhammer gryphon rider, Rhonin will travel to Grim Batol, straight into the heart of the Dragonmaw's lair to destroy the Demon Soul, and free the Dragonqueen.

Review:  This is an epic tale, with all the trimmings to make a good fantasy tale.  An unlikely hero, a band of sidekicks, a long quest, unlikely alliances, political espionage, even a dragon are all components to this great story.  Truly a classic in the World of Warcraft world.
