From the New York Times–bestselling author of Crucible and Beyond the High Road comes the most Realms-shaking event since The Threat from the Sea From the depths of the demiplane of shadow comes a new magic so mysterious it confounds even the Chosen of Mystra. From beneath the dune seas of Anauroch escapes one of Toril's most powerful and ancient evils—the phaerimm. From Evereska, the last elven refuge on comes word of invasion. And from nowhere appears a group of enigmatic sorcerers determined to destroy the phaerimm and save Evereska . . . for purposes known only to themselves.

Mixed feelings about this book. On one hand, the portrayals of the villains are very well done, as is the “feel” of an impending disaster. The plot is of course interesting, as it deals with a major event in the Forgotten Realms setting. Too bad the author got his facts wrong - with regards to how the Shadow Weave came about. If only that was the only flaw. Overall, the story was uninteresting, as there's not much excitement going on. The worse thing it did was that it portrayed elves in a very un-elven-like manner - it was like the author wasn't familiar with how elves in the Forgotten Realms setting usually are. Also, other major characters like Elminster, Khelben, and the Seven Sisters aren't exactly done justice too.
