Synopsis
The once green fields of Thay lie in war-torn ruins and its once living people are undead. Its exiled council of wizards, masters of no more than their beaten army, watch from distant shores as the realm descends into chaos, while the brilliant necromancer who drove them out, Szass Tam, now King of Thay, appears to have gone insane, and prepares a great magical ritual that they cannot allow him to complete. Nearly a century after he seized power, Aoth, Bareris and their allies learn that the lich means to destroy the whole world and remake it, and the survivors must band together to stop him. The conclusion of the Haunted Lands trilogy.
