Synopsis
Continuing the saga begun in Whisper of Waves of a man consumed by his obsession and driven by an overwhelming vision of what might be. The Wizard, furthering the plots of the Red Wizards of Thay while spinning his own webs, works in the shadows, manipulating the highest reaches of power. The Woman, tormented by the ghosts of the past and by her own passions, walks the fine line between sanity and madness, and her obsession may destroy the one thing she loves most. The Man, a visionary who cares nothing for the petty squabbles of those in power, desires only to accomplish his greatest work. The second book of Philip Athans's Watercourse Trilogy.
