Exclusive Advance Excerpt from Sylvanas Novel

wowhead.com:

In advance of the release of Sylvanas, the upcoming novel by Christie Golden, Blizzard has sent us an exclusive excerpt to whet our appetites. The novel, detailing the life of the Ranger General, Banshee Queen, War Chief, and erstwhile renegade, Sylvanas Windrunner, is due to be released in a week, on March 29th. Love her or hate her, Sylvanas has affected all of our World of Warcraft lives, and now we can learn about hers as she tells her tale to the imprisoned Anduin Wrynn.

This excerpt takes place around or during the events of Shadowlands Patch 9.0 as Sylvanas attempts to woo the young King of Stormwind to her point of view.

Sylvanas had not thought in detail about her childhood in years. She was surprised at how clear some of her memories were, even now. It stirred within her the old, familiar combination of pain and then anger.

But somehow, now that a solution, a rectification of all that had gone so horribly, cruelly wrong in her life, was so close at hand, the memories did not hurt—or anger—her as much. She had let go of many things, walking this path, and perhaps this weight was some of it. She fell silent, unwilling as of yet to revisit the moments where the tight-knit fabric of family, friends, and a future full of hope began to unravel, and the silence between them was long.
