City of Torment

Forgotten Realms: Abolethic Sovereignty, Book 2

By: Bruce R. Cordell

Narrated by: John Pruden

Lovecraftian horror from award-winning Forgotten Realms game designer Bruce R. Cordell.

Raidon Kane travels to the subterranean fortress of the somnambulant aboleths, bent on killing the Eldest in its sleep. But he isn’t the only one bound for the hidden city. A warlock, an arch fey, a pirate, and a high priestess of the Abolethic Sovereignty all have designs of their own on the Eldest – if they don’t kill each other first.

Great story, great reader

In City of Torment, the characters from Plague of Spells gain even more depth and complexity as we learn more about their histories and motives. The story moves along at a good pace, as Japeth takes desperate risks to save Anusha and Raidon Kane does what he does best: fights to save the world. John Pruden really hits the right notes, as well. He's an excellent dialog reader, and gives each character a distinct and believable voice.
