Forgotten Realms: The Sundering, Book VI

By: Ed Greenwood

Narrated by: John Pruden

In the sixth 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 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 At the heart of it all, Mystra, the great Goddess of Magic, has withdrawn from the world.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 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.

Ed Greenwood is AO!!

Another fantastic epic story from the master himself. Wonderful voice talent and editing too. A true must for any fan of Dungeons and Dragons and the Forgotten Realms. Thank you all involved in bringing this wonderful tale to life!

Epic Story of the realms

Elminster unleashing all the monsters held in stasis was a definite highlight, some real DnD shenanigans right there

Flawless victory....

Oh my God's....not only could I not stop listening (though I did sleep and work), I found myself wanting to know more about each character. Each of them needs their own series. That said, I hope they make this series into a graphic novel. Well done!!!

Ed's still the Sage.

Hey if your a fan of Forgotten Realms you certainly can't miss this exciting conclusion to the Sundering.

another great Sundering book

The series ends strong with Elminster and a great narrator. My only complaint is that the powers in this book are so great that sometimes it seems like important details get rushed over. I really got the feeling sometimes that only El and the gods understood what was going on. hah!
