DESCRIPTION:
Illidan's righteous reign of justice and vengeance has begun. He alone knows what deeply hidden motives guide his hand; he alone understands the price that must be paid to defeat the enemies of creation. Warden Shadowsong and her Watchers have pursued the Betrayer to Outland to exact retribution for his crimes, and she will not rest until Illidan is in her custodyor in his grave.. Now the Legion has returned, and there is only one champion who can truly stand against it. Instead of hailing him as a hero, his own kind branded him the Betrayer, questioning his intentions after he appeared to aid the demon lords.
