Summary
Midwinter Night, 1489 DR. Julian of Yûlash had lost everything. Her congregation was dead, the temple she had called home reduced to ash—and she, the last anchorite, was all that remained. But the Black Hand had always had plans for her, long before she could fully understand His favor and His purpose—her survival could be no different. On the holy night of Banerise, the celebration of His resurrection, Julian reaches out for guidance. His message is clear. Leave the Moonsea, the only home she has ever known, and make the months-long journey to Baldur's Gate to support his Chosen.

5 Flamerule, 1489 DR. Enver Gortash had made himself something from nothing. In the last two years, he had accomplished much—being Chosen by his Lord being his main point of pride. And yet, nothing can ever be so simple. He is a peer but he is not respected, his Steel Watcher does not work as intended, and despite standing on equal footing General Thorm continues to undermine whatever sense of authority remains. But even when He so rarely speaks to Enver directly, he knows the Black Hand has plans for him. So when he receives of a vision a young woman, guided to Wyrm’s Crossing by Him, Enver takes it for a boon.

Summary
In order to claim his birthright, a lord-prince of Zhentil Keep— son and heir of a seated Council Lord— must first prove his worth. Manshoon of Zhentil Keep, elder son of First Lord Harlshoon, is bound and determined to claim his father's throne, no matter the cost. When his quest goes catastrophically awry, circumstances force him to chart a new course: the Art of magic, which his father forbade him learn, and a self-driven quest that leads still further from home. But his mother's legacy is no safer to claim, and in pursuit of this power he faces greater danger than he could ever have dreamed.
In Zhentil Keep, tension rises in the Dark Shrine of Bane; Mulmaster, seat of the faith, grows impatient with the heresy that has been allowed to bloom within the church— and that impatience could prove deadly. Meanwhile a political storm brews in the Council of Lords, one whose rumblings threaten to shake Zhentil Keep's nobility to their foundations. Caught between hostile factions both religious and secular, Fzoul Chembryl, an underpriest of the Black Lord, must make a decision: submit to the mortal heads of his faith, or plumb its past to seek a future free of Mulmaster's grasp.

Summary
Manshoon of Zhentil Keep is many things— lord, archmage, and spy master, cunning and ambitious— but above all else, he is a liar. Fzoul Chembryl is one thing only: the right hand of a tyrant.
Together, they are the one place they can both be honest.
