Synopsis
The entire city of Phlan has vanished, ripped from the surface of Toril by dire creatures and magical forces. While the minions of the evil god Bane bicker over the spoils, the brave citizens of Phlan mount a stubborn defence. The ranger-thief Ren seeks his missing friends, Shal Bal and Tarl Desanea, spellcasters nonpareil; to do so he must band together with a mysterious sorceress and her intrepid shapeshifter cat, a couple of droll druids and a fearful knight who is absolutely, positively dead. The second book of the Heroes of Phlan, by James M. Ward and Anne K. Brown.
