Discover a whole new realm of adventure: Exiled from Myth Drannor, a swordmage returns to his childhood home to find it changed by corruption and evil Geran Hulmaster, a wandering swordmage, returns to the windswept shores of the Moonsea, where his beloved boyhood friend has been murdered. Aided by his ghostwise halfling companion, Geran begins investigating Jarad's mysterious death in the barrowfields of Hulburg—and uncovers a web of corruption that implicates the foreign merchant companies now terrorizing town. But Geran suspects their crimes do not end there. Someone has been robbing the tombs of the barrowfields, even though doing so is an act of treason—and risks incurring the wrath of Asperus, the necromancer-turned-lich who now commands the dead in the barrowfields as his slaves. Elsewhere, a Warlock Knight of Vaasa stirs the violent passions of a tribe of brutal orcs, and sends them to Hulburg bent on pillage. Now, Geran must find a way to protect his friends and family—and prevent all of Hulburg from falling into the hands of evil.

In this final volume in the epic adventures of the Blades of the Moonsea, Geran Hulmaster seeks revenge against the mage who hurt his family and his people Rhovann Disarnnyl was once an arrogant elf lord who exploited the life of luxury his ancestral home in Myth Drannor afforded him. But that was before the upstart human Geran Hulmaster maimed him in a duel—and before Rhovann was exiled from Myth Drannor for practicing shadow magic. In a cruel act of vengeance, Rhovann drives Geran’s family from their ancestral lands, fills Hulburg with nightmarish goelms to enforce his will, and crushes the natives with the aggressive enforcement of unfair laws. But Geran Hulmaster will not stand idly by as Rhovann continues his tyrannical rule. Intent on making Rhovann’s life miserable, he violates his exile to stalk the streets of his former home, hunting down the wretched moon elf mage and rallying the oppressed people of Hulburg. But Geran’s enemies are as numerous as the laws he breaks in the name of revenge—and each and every one of them is determined to see him dead.
