Featuring never before seen art in this volume, “Chronicle” returns! Fans of World of Warcraft won’t have to wait much longer to enjoy the next volume of World of Warcraft Chronicle. Blizzard Entertainment and Dark Horse Books team up once again to bring fans deeper into the detailed world and rich history of Azeroth!

The comprehensive lore series for World of Warcraft continues in the wake of the Cataclysm, as Horde and Alliance join forces to defeat both Warchief Garrosh Hellscream and the demonic Burning Legion. These victories are short lived, however, as the world’s factions are soon baited into war with each other, unknowingly empowering a cosmic threat waiting in the realms of Death. Held together by a fragile peace treaty, Azeroth’s weary denizens must band together and fight—or fall as one.

Encompassing lore from five expansions: Mists of Pandaria, Warlords of Draenor, Legion, Battle for Azeroth, and Shadowlands, as well as the cinematics, novels, short stories, comics, and ancillary world-building that bridges in-game events, World of Warcraft Chronicle Volume 4 is fans’ key to a rich knowledge of the universe! This all-encompassing compendium is the perfect tool for fans to reacquaint themselves with recent lore developments as they play the Dragonflight expansion and look ahead to the upcoming Worldsoul Saga. Developed in close collaboration with franchise creative director Chris Metzen and the World of Warcraft game team, World of Warcraft Chronicle Volume 4 is filled with fresh story insights, important details, and broader foundations for understanding the lore of the universe.
