The Wizard. Pledged to the Red Wizards of Thay from boyhood, he will do anything for anyone who can give him more power. In a twisted dimension outside the walls of time and space, he plots and plans. The Senator. A gensai, he has fought his way up from the streets and will never go back. Amid the tangled streets of Innarlith, he mixes ambition with thoughts of vengeance. The Man. A master builder, he walks along the coast of Faerun and the waves whisper to him of a mighty work, a task worthy of his talents. Philip Athans, The New York Times best-selling author, begins a new saga in the Forgotten Realms of a man consumed by obsession and driven by an overwhelming vision of what might be.
