Publisher Description
The third installment in a series that uncovers the secrets of the ancient civilizations of the Forgotten Realms world
Lurking in the ruins of the Cursrah is a horrific tale of greed, power, and revenge. The Protector crawls forth, the shade of a dead city whose rulers refuse to die.
In two distant epochs, the stories of young adventurers unfold: Craving excitement, a tomboyish princess disobeys her mother’s orders to explore the countryside with her two male companions. Their journey closely mirrors that of Amber, Hakiim, and Reiver, a trio of friends living one thousand years in the future.
Though separated by time, both parties of adventurers learn of a dreadful destiny they cannot escape . . . and of a deadly threat to all they hold dear. Why did Cursrah fall? Who was the Star of Cursrah? And how can a long-dead city threaten the modern realm of Calimshan? Uncover the secrets for yourself—if you dare.

Engaging story
Honestly, when i first started reading this book i didn’t feel hooked. The setting seemed dull, and the characters didn’t stand out to me. With the two separate timelines intermingled throughout the book, i thought it would be hard to follow the characters.
Boy was i wrong. After the first few chapters, the book really picked up momentum. The characters started to feel real and you could sympathize with them. It might start off slow, but you’d do this book a disservice if you didn’t give it a chance.
