Synopsis
In the streets of Waterdeep, conspiracies run like water through the gutters, bubbling beneath the seeming calm of the city's life. As a band of young, foppish lords discovers that there is a dark side to the city they all love, a sinister mage and his son seek to create perverted creatures to further their twisted ends; and across it all sprawls the great city itself, brawling, drinking, laughing, living life to the fullest. The fourth and last book of The Cities, by Ed Greenwood and Elaine Cunningham.
