This is where I'd make a joke about that new book smell, but it's&nbsp;<em>Diablo</em>&nbsp;so I don't want to think about smelling anything. In terms of time, the book is set between the events of&nbsp;<em>Diablo 3</em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Diablo 4</em>, though this spans several decades worth of time. The three core characters in the novel are familiar to&nbsp;<em>Diablo</em>&nbsp;fans: Tyrael, Lorath, and Donan. And oh, the hijinks these three wacky guys get up to on the way to Skovos!</p><p><br></p><p>The book serves to bridge the gaps, and flesh out characters we already know from&nbsp;<em>Diablo</em>&nbsp;while set against the setting for the next&nbsp;<em>Diablo 4</em>&nbsp;expansion,&nbsp;<em>Lord of Hatred</em>. It explores how some of these characters might know each other and the places they're about to visit while on the hunt for Mephisto. Plus, any extra time with Tyrael is always a fun little romp. Ah, angels. What scheme will they come up with next time? Well, that's kind of what&nbsp;<em>Lord of Hatred</em>&nbsp;is going to explore. So if you want more&nbsp;<em>Diablo</em>&nbsp;lore, come stay awhile and listen.</p>","author_name":"Blizzard Watch"}
