Synopsis

The direct tie-in to Diablo III, the fastest-selling gaming series of all time—starring the sole survivor of an ancient order who holds the fate of the mortal world in his hands.

Deckard Cain is the last of the Horadrim, the sole surviving member of a mysterious and legendary order. Assembled by the archangel Tyrael, the Horadrim were charged with the sacred duty of seeking out and vanquishing the three Prime Evils: Diablo (the Lord of Terror), Mephisto (the Lord of Hatred), and Baal (the Lord of Destruction). But that was many years ago. As the decades passed, the Horadrim’s strength diminished, and they fell into obscurity. Now all of their collected history, tactics, and wisdom lie within the aged hands of one man. A man who is growing concerned. Dark whisperings have begun to fill the air, tales of ancient evil stirring, rumblings of a demonic invasion set to tear the land apart.

Amid the mounting dread, Deckard Cain uncovers startling new information that could bring about the salvation—or ruin—of the mortal world: other remnants of the Horadrim still exist. He must unravel where they have been and why they are hiding from one of their own.

As Cain searches for the lost members of his order, he is thrust into an alliance with an unlikely ally: Leah, an eight-year-old girl feared by many to carry a diabolical curse. What is her secret? How is it tied to the prophesied End of Days? And if there are other living Horadrim, will they be able to stand against oblivion? These are the questions Deckard Cain must answer . . .

. . . before it is too late.

Goodreads review by Mrs Giggles on December 13, 2013

The Order is a fantasy story set in the world of the video game Diablo III. I didn't pay this book much attention when it was issued in hardcover, but when the mass market paperback edition hits the market a year later, I find my curiosity piqued by the fact that the main character is Deckard Cain.

Goodreads review by Fábio on March 28, 2013

Diablo III: The Order is based on the famous Diablo franchise. I am a big fan of the series and have always liked the lore, so I felt reading the book was a sort of must for me. The story takes place after the events of Diablo II and before the beggining of Diablo III. It's about Cain and Leah and Cai......more

Este libro lo hemos cogido con muchas ganas ya que el Diablo III es uno de nuestros juegos favoritos, y básicamente el único al que jugamos (o, al menos al que la Gamusina juega, ya que el Gran Gamusino tiene otros muchos juegos en su haber). La verdad es que teníamos muchas esperanzas en este libro......more

Goodreads review by Rebekah on May 15, 2016

As a Diablo fan, I really enjoyed this extra bit of lore. It did take me a while to figure out where the book was on the timeline (between the second and third games) and its own timeline jumps around a bit which can be confusing. The book doesn't get a fifth star though simply because it tries to h......more

This have been my first audio book, and Scott Brick did an amazing job! I had my doubts about listening to this, but I am so glad I did. I loved every little part of it, it was so detailed and I couldn't resist playing the game A LOT while listening to this book. I'm very surprised by how good this......more
