NEW BOOK OF HEROES: ANDUIN – SOLO EXPERIENCE (3 February)

Raised with the expectation he would follow in his father’s footsteps, Prince Anduin has instead forged his own way through the grace of the Light. He learned to wield holy magic as well as a sword, making him a unique figure among the royalty of Azeroth. Thus armed, Anduin has embarked on numerous adventures as far away as the storied realm of Pandaria and as close as the decaying ruins of Lordaeron.

Book of Heroes: Anduin is the fifth chapter in Hearthstone’s Book of Heroes and is also completely free to all players. Completing this adventure will award 1 Priest Pack, containing only cards from the Priest class.
