Synopsis

Even the Watch fear to cross into Mistshore. Waterdeep is a city teeming with life, and Jaleigh Johnson takes the reader into the lives of individuals from the shadier side of Waterdhavian life, from the eerie, rotting ships in the city harbour to the first sinister glimpses of the neighbourhood of Downshadow. The second book of the series. 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
