Product Description

Many months have passed since the cataclysmic Battle of Mount Hyjal, where the demonic Burning Legion was banished from Azeroth forever. But now, a mysterious energy rift within the mountains of Kalimdor propels three former warriors into the distant past -- a time long before orcs, humans or even high elves roamed the land. A time when the Dark Titan Sargeras, and his demon pawns persuaded Queen Azshara and her Highborne to cleanse Azeroth of its lesser races. A time when the Dragon Aspects were at the height of their power -- unaware that one of their own would soon usher in an age of darkness that would engulf the world of...War Craft®.

In the first chapter of this epic trilogy, the outcome of the historic War of the Ancients is forever altered by the arrival of three time-lost heroes: Krasus, the dragon mage whose great power and memories of the ancient conflict have inexplicably diminished; the human wizard Rhonin, whose thoughts are divided between his family and the seductive source of his now-growing power; and Broxigar, a weathered orc veteran who seeks a glorious death in combat. But unless these unlikely allies can convince the demigod, Cenarius, and the untrusting night elves of their queen's treachery, the burning Legion's gateway into Azeroth will open anew. And this time -- the struggles of the past may well spill over into the future...

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST HAVE for fantasy-readers and WarCraft players alike!, Jun 30 2004

By A Customer

I decided to check it out based on the good reads I got from the StarCraft series (Check those out too!), and then I saw the title: The Well of Enterity. You don't have to have played the computer game or read Day of the Dragon, and this book will still make perfect sense to you. Although there are some things that only a person who has played the computer and read through the History of WarCraft from the 100 page manuals(I wonder who does that :) Amazingly well written; Richard Knaak gives each character a unique personality. I would go into the plot, but I think Amazon has already given you a better description then I could.

*goes back to digging through WarCraft history*

5.0 out of 5 stars Venjur, Jun 9 2004

By A Customer

I thoroughly enjoyed the book and read it in about 3 days. Anyone who is a fan of the games will greatly enjoy the insight into many of the characters that are in the game, but are not very well expanded on in the games (Cenarius, Malfurion/Illidan/Tyrande triangle, etc.). Also, if you are a fan of the book Day of the Dragon, you will also enjoy it as it continues the story of 3 of the characters from that book. Although it mainly centers on just 2 (Rhonin and Krasus). The book overalll does a fine job fleshing out the bits of history you pick up from the games and other books. I can't wait for part 2, The Demon Soul!

5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of fun for fans of the series., May 21 2004

By	Bevans (White Bear Lake, MN USA) - See all my reviews

First, I highly recommend that you read Warcraft: Day of the Dragon (another Knaak book) before this one. Think of it as a sort of prequel to the War of the Ancients trilogy, like The Hobbit is to the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Not that I'm comparing the book to LotR. It's not an amazing, genre-defining work, but it's a whole lot of fun for Warcraft fans and fantasy fans.

It's filled with lots of interesting characters - not just Krasus, Rhonin, and Broxigar, but also some familiar names from the games: Furion, Illidan, Tyrande, Cenarius, and others that I won't spoil. It deals primarily with the Night Elves, and details the Burning Legion's first invasion (the second and final was covered in Warcraft III). It also tells a lot about the Dragon Aspects, the 5 caretakers of the planet.

This isn't just a slow build-up to the next two books in the trilogy. It's full of amazing and important events and battles, and leaves you wondering where it could possibly go in the second and third books.

All in all, this is a great start to what will probably be an even greater series. Warcraft fans should definitely not miss this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars A GREAT read...
This is a great book for any WarCraft fan. The premise is, admittedly, fanciful (randomly transporting an Orc and two mages into the middle of the War of the Ancients? Read more
