Product Description
Product Description
Book 2 in the new Avatar trilogy of "Forgotten Realms". The heroes of the first novel are convicted of a murder they did not commit. Forced to escape from the dungeons of Shadowdale, they flee for their lives to the distant city of Raven's Bluff. In this city the forces of evil, represented by the power of a fallen deity, are striving to win over the forces of law and order, in the form of another fallen god and his worshippers. Into this struggle come the heroes, trying to discover what really happened to the famous sage, Elminster. Desperate to remove the fallen and manipulative "gods" from the land, and tempted to take their places in the heavens, the characters fight for their lives in a battle on a scale never before seen in the realms.

I read this entire series one after the other, and of all the Forgotten Realms series, this is one of the best.
This book is second in the Avatar series, which immediately captivated me with its rich scenery and detail about the landscape and inhabitants of the land of Faerun.
Format:Mass Market Paperback
One of the most interesting books I've read. Very detailed description of the city. I was almost there! I was very happy with the continuation. Looked forward to the third.

Definitely a excellent middle book which I was surprised by since most middle books are slow and dogged. The adventures and skirmishes that populated throughout the book were highly entertaining and fantasy wise were realistic. It also shows how people could overcome impossible odds. The characters were especially good (like the three assasins) and the fighting great.
