Book excerpt: Imbued with new powers, Shandril finds herself shadowed by enemies—and haunted by a terrifying responsibility The burning magic now housed in Shandril’s body is the most powerful and most sought-after magic in all of Faerûn. Although she was reluctant to take it, there are many others who would kill for the power, and Shandril is now in constant danger. However, Shandril is not alone, and with the help of a handsome young wizard, some burly knights of Myth Drannor, and a certain old mage of Shadowdale, she might just stay alive long enough to save the Realms.
