About this ebook series

Discover the empire of Netheril—thousands of years before the Age of Elminster—in this epic series opener about two warring wizards
 
Long before the mage Elminster made his name, dragons rule the skies of Faerûn, and elves dominate the huge forests that cover the land. Only in the mighty, magical empire of Netheril are men a force to be reckoned with.
 
Bored and haughty in his midair castle, the Netherese mage Candlemas bets fellow wizard Sysquemalyn that a certain “barbarian” who has caught his eye can survive the most ruthless tests his friend—and deadly rival—can devise.
 
The wizards Netheril are not known for their fairness or mercy, but the subject of their wager, Sunbright Steelshanks of the Rengarth Tribe, has a will of his own. Candlemas and Sysquemalyn are not the only players in this lethal game of swords and sorcery . . .

In the empire of Netheril, where citadels float, magic runs wild, and mages dabble in games better left for the gods, Sunbright Steelshanks and Candlemas have just escaped the Lower Planes. Caught up in the games of the gods, the adventurers have their own concerns. 
 
As Sunbright seeks to rescue his lover AND Candlemas searches for a cure for the disease afflicting the Netherese grain crops, the two encounter a fallen star and Karsus, the arcanist who has transported himself through time to find it. Traveling through Faerûn and time itself, Sunbright becomes an unwilling pawn in a lethal match of wits, wiles, and powers.
