In the sixth and final book of the multi-author Sundering series,
launched by New York Times bestselling author R.A. Salvatore, Ed
Greenwood, the creator of the Forgotten Realms, further chronicles the
exploits of Elminster as he fights for the future of Faern.
Chaos grips Faern as vainglory, prophecy, and ancient forces comingle in
the shadows cast by war. Agents of the Shadovar lurk in the corners of
Candlekeep in search of the arcane secrets that will power their war
machine toward Myth Drannor. Gods and their Chosen run amok, all in a
gambit to seize power. And a threat foretold by an ancient seer stirs.
At the heart of it all, Mystra, the great Goddess of Magic, has
withdrawn from the world. Without her protection, Elminster, her
greatest champion, fears for the nascent Weave, the fabric of magic
Mystra wields to bind Faern. Will the Nightseer Shar, mistress of the
great and fearsome Shadovar, seize the opportunity to blanket the world
with her Shadow Weave?
With the help of Storm Silverhand and his protege Amarune, Elminster
works frantically to strengthen the Weave's tethers and forestall what
seems an inevitable reckoning. But other interests machinate for their
own sinister ends.
As the Sundering draws nigh, Elminster and his heroic cohort must see
the signs for what they are. The choice of worlds lies in the balance.
