Plot summary

Raidon Kane travels to the underground fortress of the slumbering aboleths, intending to kill the Eldest in its sleep. A warlock, an arch fey, a pirate, and a high priestess of the Abolethic Sovereignty all have their own intentions for the Eldest.

Reception

edit

One reviewer stated: "With City of Torment, Cordell cements himself as one of fantasy's most compelling authors and a boon to the continued allure and lore of the Realms. His voice is fresh, his prose is quick and sharp, and his characters able to feel realized while still leaving a few layers to peel away as the saga hurtles toward its conclusion -- one this reader is eagerly anticipating."[1]
