Weeks after the Battle of the Sunwell, human paladin Bella Cartier, night elf druid Flutashe Lunarwind, gnome priest Mena Overclock, dracthyr mage Stellaglim, and night elf demon hunter Raida Lunarwind travel to the northern continent of Northrend in reaction to a series of daring attacks on the Alliance and Horde.

Meanwhile, time runs out for human warrior Jaqueline Pomerton as the magical core within her body draws the spectre of death to claim her life. Though in death, her life truly begins. She will have to learn a new way of fighting while wielding the necromantic powers that course through her.

Other threats will have to be faced as well, from belligerent blue dragons, misguided proto humans, desperate trolls, renegade Titan Keepers and an ancient evil whose whispers bring madness.
