About this ebook
The epic historical saga of the most powerful nation in the Forgotten Realms— as told by the world's co-creators
Aided and abetted by a powerful family of wizards, the Obarskyr family has ruled Cormyr since its inception one and a half millennia ago. Now, Cormyr's benevolent king, Azoun IV, lies overcome by a deadly malady from which he may not recover. When the vultures begin to circle, hoping to usurp the throne for their own, many question the loyalty of the king’s wizard and advisor, Vangerdahast.
It is against this crisis of state that the history of the Forest Kingdom unfolds, relaying the previously untold story of a nation, its rulers, and its wizards.

An excellent mix of adventure, mystery, and history. Great insight into the early beginnings of one of the greatest kingdoms in the Realms.

Intrigue. Interesting characters. Plus a unique format covering over 1300 years of Cormyr's history.
