Diablo: Legends of the Necromancer - Rathma
Centuries after Lilith’s banishment, her son, Linarian, has buried his lineage, denying his innate ability to control life and death. But when a ruthless queen shatters his peace and summons him to the ruined citadel of the Firstborn, Linarian must take up the mantle to save Sanctuary from her twisted intentions. As his power grows, a familiar voice calls to him from the darkness, showing him the potential of his talents and the perilous road he must walk to understand them.

Comment by FlarerasthLooks amazing.Comment by VivianneWhat's up with Blizzard releasing prequel-ish books about characters who we've seen dead in games, or about characters who we're about to kill? Why wasn't this book made before the release of D4, at least?... Why do they seem to care to tell the start of their stories only when we've experienced their end?

I feel like seeing Rathma in D4 would've hit so much harder had I seen this book a few years before.
I know it's not the same IP/company, but I can't imagine how underwhelming it would've been for me to see the corpse of Altaïr in Assassin's Creed Revelations if there hadn't been the first game to tell us his story first.Comment by TripleSunPreordered. Wish it came sooner though. The other Diablo book is finally shipping next week. I forgot when preorders for that opened.

Better late than never as they say.Before D4 we didn't even know if Rathma was alive...Comment by TheGoldenElmI agree it's too bad we didn't get this before, but I'll happily read about his backstory.
