Synopsis
A holy knight struggling to live in a very unholy city, crowded with tempting women who take a great interest in him and old enemies increasingly thirsty for his doom. In Ed Greenwood's words, a tale packed with battles, betrayals, sticky situations and lurking foes, set in the deadly rooms and passages of Waterdeep's most dangerous neighbourhood of all, Downshadow, beneath the cobbles and cellars of the city and the sewers that underlie them. The third book of the series, by Erik Scott de Bie. 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.
