Warcraft: The Official Movie Novelization

Warcraft: The Official Movie Novelization is the novelization of the 2016 film Warcraft. It is written by Christie Golden, with story by Chris Metzen.

''The peaceful realm of Azeroth stands on the brink of war as its civilization faces a fearsome race of invaders: Orc warriors fleeing their dying home to colonize another. As a portal opens to connect the two worlds, one army faces destruction and the other faces extinction. From opposing sides, two heroes are set on a collision course that will decide the fate of their family, their people and their home. So begins a spectacular saga of power and sacrifice in which war has many faces, and everyone fights for something.''
