Synopsis: The tour of the Realms’ most powerful cities continues with this action-packed adventure set in Waterdeep, where intrigue and secrets abound

In the streets of Waterdeep, conspiracies run like water through the gutters, bubbling beneath the seeming calm of the city’s life. As a group of young, foppish lords discovers there is a dark side to the city they all love, a sinister mage and his son seek to create perverted creatures to further their twisted ends. With Waterdeep facing imminent danger, these spoiled younger sons must set aside their lives of luxury to become a fearless band of heroes.

And across it all sprawls the great city itself. A hub of brawling, drinking, laughing, and living life to the fullest—even in the face of death.
