Summary

Though the young Warchief Thrall ended the demon curse that had plagued his people for generations, the orcs still wrestle with the sins of their bloody past. As the rampaging Horde, they waged a number of devastating wars against their perennial enemy - the Alliance. Yet the rage and bloodlust that drove the orcs to destroy everything in their path nearly consumed them as well. Long ago, on the idyllic world of Draenor, the noble orc clans lived in relative peace with their enigmatic neighbors, the draenei. 

But the nefarious agents of the Burning Legion had other plans for both of the unsuspecting races. The demon-lord Kil’jaeden set in motion a dark chain of events that would succeed not only in eradicating the draenei, but would forge the orc clans into an single, unstoppable juggernaut of hatred and destruction. An original tale of magic, warfare, and heroism based on the best-selling, award-winning electronic game series from Blizzard.

The Beginning of the Orcs

A really Good and captivating WoW story!
If you haven't listen, played or read anything that does have with the Warcraft world, then you should listen to this. Geat story about the orcs and how the destiny of the orks began. Christie Golden also does a great work telling it.

A good summary of the orcs

A story about the struggles and past of the orcs that even the less familiar with warcraft could enjoy.

Surprisingly Good

Wanted to listen to more of the more of World of Warcraft and this book is a good starting point! Different to the movie a bit and with more detail. Going to pick up the 2nd one now!

Was a bit sceptical at first with a female narrator only due to the orcs having deep gruff voices but Christie Golden does a great job. Bonus points as she's also the author!

Christie did a great job with the voices

Christie, even with her soft voice, did a great job portraying the various Orcs. I enjoyed this story immensely.
