Day of the Dragon

When a remnant of the Black Dragonflight schemes to resurrect their fallen leader Deathwing through a captive red dragon and a forbidden ritual, the Kirin Tor sends the young mage Rhonin to stop them before Azeroth's skies burn again. Richard Knaak's first Warcraft novel introduces Rhonin and the dragonflights that recur throughout the franchise's later fiction, set years before the game most players know it from.
