Diablo III: Book of Cain Hardcover Novel due for November

The Diablo universe is chock full of mysteries, many of which players uncover as they play throughout the first two games. However, some mysteries are better kept than others, and require players to pick up and read through dense tomes published by Blizzard. 

The company's next release, the Book of Cain, is set for a November 15 release this year, and contains a record of the Deckard Cain's adventures. 

In Blizzard Entertainment’s Diablo® and Diablo II, the recurring character of Deckard Cain delivered quests, accompanied the brave adventurer, and, as the last of the Horadrim, provided a link to the greater history of the world of Sanctuary. Ever mysterious during these appearances, Cain hinted at a larger story, providing snippets of it in his notebook. Diablo III: Book of Cain is Cain’s formal record of this greater tale—a dissertation on the lore of the Diablo universe, told by one who has witnessed and participated in some of the epic events that make up the eternal conflict between the High Heavens and the Burning Hells.

Designed as an “in-world” artifact from the Diablo universe, Diablo III: Book of Cain includes Cain’s revealing meditations, as well as dozens of sketches and color artworks depicting the angelic and demonic beings who wage constant war with one another.

For players of the eagerly anticipated Diablo III, this mysterious tome will provide a deeper understanding of the franchise and its storyline.

The book will be available in all major bookstores and online outlets[Amazon].
