After returning home to Azeroth, Alleria Windrunner calls upon her estranged siblings—Sylvanas, the warchief of the Horde, and Vereesa, ranger-general of the Silver Covenant—to join her in a quest to retake their ancestral home, Windrunner Spire, from the undead who have overrun the place. On their journey, the three sisters will navigate both the dangers of the present and the ghosts of the past to discover if time and tragedy have divided them irrevocably—or if, despite everything, they are still a family.[3]
The story was initially pitched as a short story, but it ended up becoming a comic.[2]
This is the first time that Giramar, Galadin, and Lirath have been depicted visually. They had only appeared in novels since they were introduced 13 years earlier for the twins[4] and 10 years earlier for Lirath.[5]
Vereesa mentions that Sylvanas and Alleria let her think that they were dead. Vereesa learned about Sylvanas' official death from the elven leaders of Quel'Thalas, including her grandfather, in The Well of Eternity, and was unaware of the rumors about the fate of her sister.
As of July 2018, the comic has been read more than 4 million times.[1]
