Synopsis

Kamoth Kastelmar, a sadistic young lord who charmed his way into marrying the sister of the Harmach of Hulburg before he was exiled for conspiring against his new brother-in-law, returns at the head of a band of bloodthirsty pirates who threaten to raze Hulburg to the ground. The city council chooses the swordmage Geran Hulmaster to track the pirates to their hidden base, infiltrate their ranks and find a way to stop them before it is too late. But the pirates are motivated by more than greed: kin to his enemies, they seek a deeper revenge, one Geran only begins to glimpse when they kidnap the woman he loves. The second book of the Blades of the Moonsea.

Notes

  • From the series record (Blades of the Moonsea): A solo Richard Baker trilogy set around the Moonsea; distinct from Baker's other Forgotten Realms trilogy, The Last Mythal (Forsaken House/Farthest Reach/Final Gate).

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.

  • Internal chronology, within Forgotten Realms: position 102 of 215: previous The Shadowmask (2010) · next Pools of Darkness (1992)
