Publisher Description
In this landmark Forgotten Realms novel, a band of heroes seeks the one ally who can help them win a deadly race against the gods: Elminster
When the gods are banished from the heavens, they must travel through Faerûn in the guise of mortals, seeking to regain their powers. Malevolent Bane, power-hungry Mystra, and Helm—guardian of the heavens—all know the lost Tablets of Fate are key.
When four companions, the last survivors of the Company of the Lynx, find themselves in possession of a mysterious amulet, they must escape death at the hand of Bane, god of murder.
But time is running out for the heroes and the Realms. Caught in the crossfire, nature itself revolts: strange, deadly creatures stalk the land, and even magic becomes unpredictable. Now embroiled in a high-level power struggle with the fallen deities, the heroes must find the sage Elminster—the only mortal who may know the secret of the tablets. And the search begins in Shadowdale.
Customer Reviews
Shadowdale... a must read!
Once you pick up this book, you won’t be able to put it down. I highly recommend for everyone who loves the Forgotten Realms, you must read this book.
Meh
It was necessary for me to read this book, as I came to a portion of the Drizzt series that glossed over much of this. I am going to force myself into the next book hoping it it better written. The opportunity for a grand adventure in this time and setting in D&D was squandered. So much needed to be added to this in order to make sense. It seemed that the book was trying to meet the requirements of a pre-written story line from a campaign instead of methodically laying out what happened in the realms and why these random environmental changed occurred. Betty frustrating read.
