Rise of the Horde is a novel by Christie Golden focusing on the events of the Horde and its culture in the Warcraft universe. Chris Metzen himself commented on the book, which features the draenei's flight from Argus and the corruption of the orcs. "The book DOMINATES, and you're going to really dig it. Durotan, Ner'zhul, Gul'dan, Doomhammer, Hellscream, Kil'jaeden, Velen; this story is the one you've been waiting for. I'm getting geeked up just thinking about it."[1] Though the orc on the cover is almost certainly Grom Hellscream, he only appears briefly in the novel.
