Looks like Sylvanas is slipping from her seatComment by Richmond79Sylvanas looks a hundred times cooler than Anduin. Love that she's reclining on a throne in shadow, with a look that says "a boy? bring it on lionhead, I will turn your alliance to ashes". Her turning banshee was the best part of the newest cinematic.Comment by Dafire2thats a nice coverComment by 1810468This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Comment by AruthuroI think this cover is awsome *.*, cant wait to read this book.Comment by FarmoceftSeems we have a new wow couple)
