Nope. It should take place years after Eye of the North. When Ascalon finally falls. Anyway the "Dragonrise" one sounds interesting if it is indeed the second GW2 book.

Well, at least now we can be a little less disappointed when we hear nothing on GW2 in the second half of this year.

Ah, let me rephrase, after the Charr started to attack Ascalon again and the King used is sword to raise up the Ascalonian dead.

It might cover the whole period starting with the Searing, or even before. Remember, not everyone who picks up the book will be a GW player or know all the background that we do. I think a novel would have to give at least a little information on how and why the conflict began, as well as the years of fighting in Ascalon and the events affecting the Charr in their homelands, to make the resolution of the story understandable.

And according to the page on amazon.com, the book is 352 pages long. Should be nice read.

Let's hope it's better-written than the fiction in the prophecies manual!

slowerpoke · Jul 01, 2009, 06:59 PM // 18:59

speculation, and information we already knew.

....there was nothing wrong with that. I enjoyed it.

Buster · Jul 01, 2009, 07:04 PM // 19:04

I just hope they won't wait to release the game until all 3 books are out. That would mean a 2011 release and a hell of a wait.

The Scorpion Knight · Jul 01, 2009, 07:12 PM // 19:12

Going to have to get that.

Helix Dreadlock · Jul 01, 2009, 07:56 PM // 19:56

for teh win.

xanarot · Jul 01, 2009, 07:59 PM // 19:59

Indeed, this books is far past the EotN. Its about when the charr finally finish the war and destroy ascalon as we know it.

Remember the official GW2 note: "Ascalon now belongs entirely to the Charr apart from a single fortress, Ebonhawke. Ascalon City itself is a ghost town, populated by the vengeful spirits of its former citizens who slay all who dare enter. "

So its about everything getting wiped out except 1 last place thats probably some last-stand kind of thing.

Mostly i love that there is finally a book comming out. Its been said by Anet that this book will describe most of the 250years, which likely means that GW2 isnt far off now.

Awesome news

Too bad the wait is so long but whatever. I'm getting my hands on that book.
