Though the Horde and the Alliance have defeated the demonic Burning Legion, the sword of Sargeras has left a devastating wound in the heart of Azeroth, revealing a mysterious material known as Azerite. In the right hands, this strange golden substance is capable of breathtaking creation; in the wrong ones, it could spawn unthinkable destruction. Anduin Wrynn, king of Stormwind, and Sylvanas Windrunner, warchief of the Horde and queen of the Forsaken, have little time to rebuild what remains. As Alliance and Horde forces race to uncover the secrets of Azerite and heal the world, Anduin enacts a desperate plan to forge a lasting peace between the factions. With Azerite jeopardizing the balance of power, Anduin must gain the trust of Sylvanas. But the Dark Lady has her own machinations. For peace to be possible, generations of bloodshed and hatred must be put to rest. But there are truths neither side will accept and ambitions they are loath to relinquish. As Alliance and Horde alike grasp for the Azerite's power, their simmering conflict threatens to reignite all-out war - a war that would spell doom for all.
