The three Warcraft Vol1-3
Day of the Dragon (Hero is a wizard) Richard Knaak
Lord of the Clan (Hero is an Orc) Christie Golden
Last Guardian (Hero is a wizard) Jeff Grubb
The books are not sequels they only relation is they are in the Warcraft world. They are self contained stories written by different authors and different characters.
The best of the lot was Lord of the Clan, this book was really good. The hero here is an Orc and the sequel to this books is "Rise of the Horde", got it but haven't read it yet.
The Last Guardian was okay but I included it because it fits your bill the best.
The Crystal Shard is good but I would not recommend it for what you looking for there is no real Hero/Mentor relationship. I'd go for the first book in the Legend series titled "Homeland" by R.A. Salvatore. It's the same author and same character in this book.
