As Lady Jaina outmaneuvers her undead pursuer and his thralls, Death Knight Falric reveals just how relentless the Scourge can be…

CHAPTER 24: DEATH'S CALLING

When she was an initiate, Jaina called the Catacombs a needless labyrinth. With countless intersecting corridors, she’d sworn if she met the architect responsible for the maze she’d give him a piece of her mind.
