Ghosts of Ascalon is the first title in a series of books based on the Guild Wars universe. Ghosts of Ascalon is scheduled to be released on July 27th but ArenaNet and the authors, Matt Forbeck and Jeff Grubb, have a treat in store: The first chapter is available for free online starting today!
250 years is a long time to wait between video game launches. So to catch fans of the Guild Wars franchise up on the marriages, new races, unexpected alliances and dark forces that haunt Tyria, NCsoft and ArenaNet are releasing Ghosts of Ascalon, the first novel in the Guild Wars book series written by Matt Forbeck and Jeff Grubb. Ghosts of Ascalon takes place a year before the start of Guild Wars 2, and deals with, among other things, the tentative truce between man and charr.
Head to the Ghosts of Ascalon site to read the first chapter or Jeff Grubb's blog post on the GW2 site to read about the book writing process and specifically about chapter one.
