About the book: 2004 / The Battle for the Valley of Shadows ended with the defeat of the god of Discord, but the magician Elminster disappeared into the abyss that opened in the temple of Letander, when the Black Lord and the goddess of Magic met in the decisive match. Residents of the Valley of Shadows accuse Midnight and Adon of killing Elminster. The sorceress and priest sentenced to death, with the help of the thief Cyric, manage to escape from the Valley of Shadows, and now their path lies in Tantras - the city where, according to Elminster, one of the stolen Tablets of Fate is located. These powerful artifacts are capable of returning the exiled gods to their Levels of existence and restoring universal balance and normal life in the Kingdoms, where, due to the presence of the gods, magic has become completely uncontrollable and dangerous. Meanwhile, the Lord of Dust gathers together the scattered particles of the essence of the god of Discord, which means that the people of the Kingdoms are threatened with new troubles. But wise Elminster is more alive than dead...
