NEPŘÍTEL ZA BRANAMI Kdysi mocné království Gilneas se ocitá v obležení zvenčí i zevnitř. Zatímco se podél jeho mohutné zdi shromažďují armády Opuštěných, dojde v hlavním městě k řadě brutálních vražd, které naznačují, že se mezi obyvateli skrývá daleko zlověstnější hrozba. Na scénu přichází Halford Ramsey, proslulý královský vyšetřovatel, který se nezastaví před ničím, aby zdánlivě nepolapitelného vraha dopadl. Při rozkrývání případu se Halford ocitá v ohnisku zájmu skutečných pachatelů vražd: worgenů, prokletých vlčích lidí, známých pouze z legend, a tajuplného „Vlčího kultu“, který je uctívá. Ramsey je záhy zatažen do deset tisíc let starého eposu, ve kterém nechybí láska, tragédie ani zrada, a který se točí kolem války prastarých nočních elfů proti démonické Plamenné legii. Halford, postižen kletbou worgenů, musí zkrotit zvíře zuřící v jeho nitru, a jednou provždy učinit přítrž ďábelskému spiknutí, jež hrozí zničením celého Gilneasu. Příběh plný záhad a bortících se říší vypráví Micky Neilson a James Waugh, s ilustracemi od Ludo Lullabiho a Tonyho Washingtona.

Království Lorearonu si snad ani na jeden rok neodpočine. Když zrovna lidé nevyhlásí válku orkům, tak jsou to šiky nemrtvých, které roznášejí na prohnilých kopytech lidská města, anebo tajemná partička bytostí z jiné dimenze, které nechtějí nic menšího, než převzít vládu nad světem. Válka není složena jen z odletujících hlav - válku dělají lidé. A právě osudům rytířů Řádu Stříbrné ruky, který se rozpadá na Bělostný úsvit a Šarlatové křižáky, se věnuje kniha World of Warcraft: Ashbringer. Všechno, co jste kdy chtěli vědět o osudu Azerothu, se v ní dočtete. Však za ní také stojí odborníci na slovo vzatí! Scénář napsal Micky Neilson z Blizzard Entertainment a za ilustrace jsou zodpovědní Ludo Lullabi a Tony Washington.
