Synopsis

A haunting adventure hand-picked by Ed Greenwood. Something is causing trouble in the City of the Dead, and Sophraea Carver, born and bred next to the historic cemetery, is determined to solve the mystery before it places all of Waterdeep in peril. The fourth book of the series, by Rosemary Jones. Ed Greenwood Presents Waterdeep was a series of stand-alone novels set in Waterdeep, the City of Splendors, presented by the creator of the Forgotten Realms to showcase the city and new authors, and written for readers with no prior knowledge of the setting.

Where it sits

Notes

  • Part of Ed Greenwood Presents Waterdeep, a 6-novel multi-author series each set in Waterdeep with an introduction by Ed Greenwood; distinct from the earlier, unrelated The Wizards series.
  • From the series record (Ed Greenwood Presents Waterdeep): A 6-novel multi-author series (2008-2010), each set in Waterdeep and introduced by Ed Greenwood, though not written by him. Distinct from the earlier, unrelated The Wizards series despite both featuring the Blackstaff Tower setting.

Neighbouring works

Publication order and internal chronology are tracked as two separate orderings and are never conflated: a book's place in one says nothing about its place in the other.
