Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred Prequel Novel Now Available for Preorder

The Diablo IV universe is set to grow with the arrival of the Lord of Hatred expansion on April 28. Just a week prior, fans can dive into the expansion’s lore through the prequel novel, Diablo IV: The Lost Horadrim, which will be released in April. This official novel will shed light on the main questline of the Lord of Hatred and introduce players to the Skovos Isles, the new region featured in the expansion. If you’re intrigued, the paperback edition of Diablo IV: The Lost Horadrim is available for preorder at $30. Additionally, it will be offered as an eBook for $15 and as an Audible audiobook for $17.52.

Diablo has a rich history in literature, and if you’re looking to expand your collection—perhaps for a unique gift—there are plenty of options. The art books and character tomes provide an immersive look into the dark world of Diablo, featuring stunning illustrations and high-quality prints. The character tomes are crafted as in-universe texts from the viewpoints of key figures like Cain and Prava, using special paper to give them a vintage feel. The first four tomes are bundled in the Horadric Vault series for $98.39, but buying them individually along with the new Book of Prava is actually more economical.

You can also explore various novels that take place during the timeline of the original Diablo game. The Sin War trilogy delves into the conflict that reshaped humanity’s fate, while Storm of Light, set during Diablo III, follows Tyrael as he embarks on a daring mission to rebuild the Horadric Order and retrieve the black Soulstone from Heaven. For graphic novel enthusiasts, there are two titles that follow the legendary Necromancer Rathma and the Barbarian progenitor Bul-Kathos.
