A new day dawns over Elventree to mark our heroes’ safe return. The Harpers, the Council of Nine, her citizens and the Shadowvar now place their hope for safety with the Hand of the Harp.

Meanwhile, the call of song and lyric presents a temptation that Chyna is not likely to ignore. With the Search for Faerun’s Brightest Star pending at the Talespinners Jamboree near the mercenary town of Yulash, they seek to support their determined… and persistent bard in her pursuit of a victory and the adoration of new fans. But the trade routes surrounding Hillsfar grow more treacherous for the companions, and even a simple journey to a neighbouring township should not be taken lightly.
