In the 6th and final book of the multi-author Sundering series launched by New York Times best-selling 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 Faerûn.
Chaos grips Faerûn 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of it all, Mystra, the great Goddess of Magic, has withdrawn from the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 Faerûn. 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 protégé 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.
