Summary
Raphael, arguably the most accomplished player on the Lanceboard of Life, failed to anticipate that he would be unable to fully master the Crown of Karsus without Elynn, who channels the Karsite Weave better than him.
Having escaped from Raphael's manipulative clutches, she wants nothing more than a life with Astarion, who is mortal like her.Raphael has given her an ultimatum if she doesn't agree to stand by his side and help him realise his plans for world domination: She is to become queen alongside Raphael; otherwise, a city in Faerûn will be destroyed every new tenday.
Elynn knows she must challenge and defeat Raphael, but until the Githyanki forces arrive to help with the upcoming war, all there is to do is hope.
She knows that until then at least one city will fall.
Elynn must not give up, because if Raphael succeeds, mortals and gods alike will be damned. Elynn is hope personified. If she succumbs to his plan to make her immortal, the world's hope will be lost.
She doesn't have much time to prepare for the fight of her life. But Astarion, and their companions, stand with her.Series

Summary
*Spoilers for the entirety of BG3.*
Elynn was a devoted cleric of Bahamut until she foolishly gave the Crown of Karsus to a power-hungry devil. Exiled by Bahamut, she finds herself all alone. The mighty Raphael turns to her again, suggesting that she might be able to help him deal with the Netherese magic contained within the Crown. On his behalf she learns to channel the raw power of the Karsite Weave, all while searching for Astarion in the Underdark.
But the devil’s grip tightens. As she fights to heal Astarion, Raphael weaves his own game, twisting fate until Elynn stands on the edge of becoming his greatest piece on the Lanceboard. When her former companions learn of her doomed fate, they come to her aid. But is it already too late?Series
