Publisher's summary

This title is the second in a series of recovers of the popular Avatar series. At the time of its original release, this series presented key events that impacted the entire Forgotten Realms world, and the effects of those events are still felt in current novels. This title was originally released under the author's pseudonym, Richard Awlinson.

Heroes stand trial!

When Elminster, the Old Sage of Shadowdale, is apparently slain, Midnight and Adon stand trial for his murder. When Bane, god of murder, and his allies seek the lost Tablets of Fate, a slender dark-haired woman is all that stands between Faern and disaster.

When a friend betrays them, Midnight and her companions can trust no one.

For the fellow Nerd

This book is mainly for us fellow nerds that know some about Forgotten Realms already. With that said, it is truly an excellent story that educates us about the canon and give great insights. Not the least for us Dungeon Masters.
Sadly, as often is the case with these stories, the female starts out as a very strong independent person, just to become more of an female in need of a man as soon as a love story is introduced. That really breaks a lot of the experience of the book. Nevertheless i will continue reading and hope this will correct itself.

Great book, but ...

As is the case for the entire series, the books are great - but the narrator leaves a bit to be desired - just not engaging IMHO.

Very well done

Any additional comments?

Another excellent performance by Nicole Greevy. The narrator really brings the book to life! Can't wait to listen to the remaining books in the series.

Narrator Says Hu-Whip Like Family Guy Joke

The story is nostalgia, but the narrator is hard to get through. She really doesn't seem like this is her day job.

Great Story! Horrible Narration!!!

Classic story with everything you want from a forgotten realms book! And the worst narrator in the history of audible books, my dog has more emotion and inflection than this woman!!!!

Fantastic story terrible narrator

Like the previous book in the series the story is fantastic but the narrator is terrible. The narrator has a terrible issue with inflection and acting out voices and her cadence leaves little to be desired,which combined with the many mispronunciations, it almost makes listening to these books a chore rather than the delight that it should be.

Enjoyed the story but the narrator...

enjoyed the book but you could have had Siri or Cortana narrated this better. Seriously, I'm sorry Nicole, please stop while you're ahead. You annoyed me even more saying Bhaal wrong. it's not Bu-haul. It's "Baul".
