This book describes the last events in the new timeline of the War of the Ancients, and focuses specifically on the events leading up to the Great Sundering of Azeroth; the great explosion that ripped the continents of Azeroth apart and created the continents we see today.
In the final, apocalyptic chapter of this epic trilogy, the dragon-mageKrasus and the young druidMalfurion must risk everything to save Azeroth from utter destruction. Banding together the dwarves, tauren and furbolg races, the heroes hope to spark an alliance to stand against the might of the Burning Legion. For if the Demon Soul should fall into the Legion's hands, all hope for the world will be lost. This then, is the hour... where past and future collide!
