About this eBook
Destiny Called - They Answered
In the dark recesses of Tyria, elder dragons have awoken from millennial slumbers. First came Primordus, which stirred in the Depths forcing the asura to flee to the surface. Half a century later, Jormag awoke and drove the norn from the frozen climes of the Northern Shiverpeaks, corrupting sons and brothers along the way. A generation later, Zhaitan arose in a cataclysmic event that reshaped a continent and flooded the capital of the human nation of Kryta.
The races of Tyria stand on the edge of destiny. Heroes have battled against dragon minions, only to be corrupted into service of the enemy. Armies have marched on the dragons and been swep aside. The dwarves sacrificed their entire race to defeat a single dragon champion. The age of mortals may soon be over.
This is a time for heroes. While the races of Tyria stand apart, six heroic individuals will come together to fight for their people: Eir, the norn huntress with the soul of an artist; Snaff, the asuran genius, and his ambitious assistant Zojja; Rytlock, the ferocious charr warrior in exile; Caithe, a deadly sylvari with deep secrets; and Logan, the valiant human guardian dealing with divided loyalties. Together they become Destiny’s Edge. Together they answer the call. But will it be enough?

This was better than Ghosts of Ascalon by far - great story. It doesn't disappoint with a rushed ending as its predecessor did. Highly recommended if you plan to play the game as it provides a first look at the heroes that make up Destiny's Edge. The pace is great and the action is well written. Helped bring back the anticipation for release of GW2.

As a fan of GW2 I enjoyed EoD, although the book is mostly just a string of fights. It's like if Michael Bay did a Guild Wars movie. Regardless it was enjoyable and worth reading.

Not as mature a read at the beginning as at the end. Seems a bit jumbled to start but builds to a strong finish. Great set up for Guild Wars 2 game.
