Azeroth has recently enjoyed a period of relative peace, though dark storm clouds are beginning to gather on the horizon. Despite Archmage Khadgar's best efforts, the treacherous Gul'dan remains elusive. Doomsayers start to sing portents of the end of the world... and closer to home, King Varian Wrynn and his Queen, Auriana, must face challenges of a far more personal nature...

A routine visit to Stormshield soon becomes a greater adventure for Varian Wrynn, when his mission is betrayed from within the Alliance. Now lost in the wilds of Tanaan Jungle with only a troubled young mage to help him, the King of Stormwind must outwit the hunters of the Iron Horde if he is to survive and make his way home. Possible spoilers for Warlords of Draenor.
