Synopsis
During the Era of Upheaval, a bitter guardsman named Kleef Kenric, devoted to the long-forgotten god Helm, encounters a mysterious pair carrying a sacred relic called the Eye of Gruumsh. When a noblewoman named Arietta Seasilver joins their cause, their fates intertwine as they journey toward Grumbar's Temple while being pursued by the Shadovar.
Where it sits
- Universe: Forgotten Realms
- Series: The Sundering ; position 4 of 5 in the series' recorded order
- Author: Troy Denning
Notes
- The Sundering, Book 5. A conflict centered on Netheril and the returning goddess Shar's schemes.
- From the series record (The Sundering): A 6-novel crossover event (2013-2014) marking a cosmological turning point in the setting, one novel per volume by 6 different well-known Forgotten Realms authors, plotted around the goddess Shar's rise and the fate of the Weave. Book I, The Companions (2013, R.A. Salvatore), is not separately listed here: it is the same novel already registered as Core Canon within the Legend of Drizzt author line, which already carries its own 'The Sundering #1' cross-reference note; this project lists each book under exactly one series to avoid double-counting it. The Godborn (Book II) is registered without a confirmed print ISBN; the identifier found could only be inferred from Wizards of the Coast's sequential numbering pattern for this set, not independently verified. Registered 2026-08-18.
