Dismissed, pitied, and shamed following a nearly deadly attack by a Legion demon, Nikara doesn't feel welcome by her own kind. Even so, the blood elf paladin is determined to protect the Horde from all threats, including the Alliance. While seeking peace for her tormented soul among the Tauren of Thunder Bluff, Nikara battles an intrusive void elf warlock, Sebastyien, only to lose and become his prisoner. Both blood elf and void elf quickly realize that such forced togetherness is not at all what they expected.
