Synopsis

Once again the counsellors of Halruaa have beaten back an attack by the wizard Akhlaur, and the kingdom has been saved from its enemies, but victory comes at a terrible price. The aged king is weakened, his powers diminished; his chief counsellor Matteo is torn between duty and heart; Tzigone, the hero of the battle of Akhlaur's Swamp, has been hurled into a dark world from which she may never escape; and at the edge of time Akhlaur and his ally, the Magehound, plot their final revenge. The conclusion of Elaine Cunningham's Counselors and Kings trilogy.

Where it sits

Notes

  • A solo Elaine Cunningham trilogy set in Halruaa, sometimes called 'The Arcane Age.' Not to be confused with the unrelated Paul S. Kemp omnibus reprint of the same name for The Twilight War trilogy.
  • From the series record (Counselors and Kings): A solo Elaine Cunningham trilogy set in Halruaa, sometimes called 'The Arcane Age.' Not to be confused with the unrelated Paul S. Kemp omnibus reprint of the same name for The Twilight War trilogy.

Neighbouring works

  • Internal chronology, within Forgotten Realms: position 137 of 215: previous Hand of Fire (2002) · next Windwalker (2003)
