Author Christie Golden does for Arthas what she once did for the Orc Lord Thrall in the bestselling Warcraft: Lord of the Clans in another epic exploration of one of the key characters from the eleven-million subscriber massively multiplayer online role-playing game. Arthas: Rise of the Lick King reveals the true and thrilling story behind one of the Warcraft universe’s most terrifying villains whose evil is legendary. Review: Lovely tragic story! - If you played Warcraft III or Wrath of the Lich King expansion. You will love this book. It goes into details about Arthas and Jaina's childhood and their deep affection for each other before Arthas was turned into the Lich King. There were other important characters in the story as well you will recognize if you follow the lore. This book will walk you all the way up until the Start of Wrath of the Lich King expansion! Very much enjoyed it! This has got me hyped to play the upcoming Classic WOTLK expansion coming out Sep 26, 2022! Can't wait to make my DK again! Review: Amazing lore, great read for Alliance lovers. - Ive read a few of Christie Goldens books and I wasnt pleased. After reading this I think I wasnt mad at her writting, I simply wasnt interested in the lore the other books had to offer. Simply put I am more of an Aliance player in the game and I enjoy reading books about Alliance heroes. Too many books are about the Horde and this book was focused on the Alliance side. Its an amazing back story to all of the events and lore of the lich king and many well known heroes of the alliance which was perfect for me since I didnt start to play the WoW until Warlords of Dreanor, so my lore of the past was missing. These books are helping me catch up and help me when I am away from my computer to still enjoy the wonders of Warcraft. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #188,165 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #311 in TV, Movie & Game Tie-In Fiction #1,859 in Epic Fantasy (Books) #3,027 in Science Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 2,465 Reviews | ## Images ![World of Warcraft: Arthas: Rise of the Lich King - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81NIbvEekYL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lovely tragic story! *by A***R on August 21, 2022* If you played Warcraft III or Wrath of the Lich King expansion.

After reading this I think I wasnt mad at her writting, I simply wasnt interested in the lore the other books had to offer. Simply put I am more of an Aliance player in the game and I enjoy reading books about Alliance heroes. Too many books are about the Horde and this book was focused on the Alliance side. Its an amazing back story to all of the events and lore of the lich king and many well known heroes of the alliance which was perfect for me since I didnt start to play the WoW until Warlords of Dreanor, so my lore of the past was missing. These books are helping me catch up and help me when I am away from my computer to still enjoy the wonders of Warcraft. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good attempt at a hard task *by A***M on October 3, 2011* First off I think Christie Golden has a lot of heart to take on the Arthas story in novel form. Being very recent history in Warcraft Lore there exists a great deal of source material. Despite only covering a few years the time of the Third War has the greatest number of events and details about those events in all of Warcraft. Short of splitting each of the three "acts" of the book into its own separate novel like the War of the Ancients Trilogy I don't think there was a possible way to bring the story together without having to skip events or be slightly fuzzy with some of the facts. I think she did a great job within the limits of what she had though. Minor Spoilers only, hopefully. The book is split into his childhood, his manhood, and his time as the Lich King before the end of the second expansion of WoW. The material on the First and Second War are few at best. The author assumes you already know the events of these wars and only offers snippets related to Arthas which I don't think is a bad thing. *Reading 'The Last Guardian' through 'Tides of Darkness' helps by the way* The relationship between him and Jaina Proudmoore is given much more import and detail than in previous material. Sadly, when the story progresses to the events of the Third War just short of half way in it there is a struggle to fit everything in and people will be disappointed that a character or event they really liked and thought was important was only given 2 pages of material in the book. It turns into a cliff notes version of Warcraft 3. That being said, I think Christie is one of the best writers they tap for these novels. Her writing is fun to read and respects the source material. She specifically excels at building a believable character and conflict, her stories involving the Horde are great. She does a good job at trying to give Arthas a personality and humanity you can understand. He severely lacked this in the source games where his transition from Prince to Lich King wasn't very believable and didn't give you a reason to like him very much before he turned. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/1868861-world-of-warcraft-arthas-rise-of-the-lich-king](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/1868861-world-of-warcraft-arthas-rise-of-the-lich-king) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-08-12*
