An all-new version of one of the key titles in the entire Forgotten Realms novel line.

This title is the fourth in a series of recovers of the popular Avatar series. At the time of its original release, this series presented key events that impacted the entire Forgotten Realms world, and the effects of those events are still felt in current novels. This re-released series features a cohesive cover design and all-new art.

Revenge of a God

The Time of Troubles is at an end, and the gods have been restored to their rightful places.

The soul of Kelemvor Lyonsbane, former lover of the goddess of magic, remains hidden from the mad god Cyric. The will of one such as Cyric, when bent on revenge, is not so easily thwarted.

Great story

I read the first three books when they were first released as, "The Avatar Trilogy." Then life got in the way of my, as it is wont to do, and I lost track of events in The Realms. Now, nearly 30 years later, I've discovered the wonders of audiobooks, the Kindle, and the awesomeness of immersive reading. I started reading some of the more recent Forgotten Realms titles and it felt as if there were gaps in my knowledge of the history of Aebir-Toril. I saw multiple references to Kelemvor as Lord of The Dead and became confused. As far as I knew, Kel WAS dead. When did he get promoted?

So I decided to go back and re-read, or perhaps I should say, "re-experience" for that seems like a better description of immersive reading, some of my old favorites and discovered that the tale of Midnight, Kelemvor, Adon, and Cyric didn't end in "Waterdeep." Now I know how he became part of Faerun's pantheon of gods. I can't wait till I get off work this evening so I can start on the next book.

Interesting insight into Cyrics mind set and how he ran the realm of the dead

Good read

Wish the narrator had a different voice. She sounded monotone and even when trying to do other voices did not change.

Engaging storyline

The stories of the Forgotten Realms are always great but this one ,is amongst the most satisfying. An excellent example of story telling with an exceedingly pleasant narration.

Excellent

Some readers were much better than others but the tale itself was well constructed, written, and brought to conclusion in a way that helped the audience feel the madness creeping in and taking over. A very satisfying tale indeed! Very helpful to me as a DM campaigning in times right after this!

A Well Woven Tale

Sitting here after having finished the "Prince of Lies"
is best described as a surreal experience.
The overwhelming quality of this book can hardly be believed
to have any connections at all to the dumpster-fires that were
"Waterdeep" and "Tantras."
That I've now been through a story so good that even the
acts of occasional stupidity within the main-characters come
off as intriguing character-features calling for a reader's
analysis of their mindsets, as opposed to simply being
facepalm-inducing, is more than a breath of fresh air.

The narrator is always still bad, but she appears to deliver
a more varied performance this time around, when compared
to earlier readings, and even then, her somewhat robotic
delivery makes for a somewhat fitting interpretation of the
alien minds of the gods when given voice.

Overall, a great book, and an overwhelming improvement
to the general series, do not miss this one.

It is hard to believe how far we've come.

The narrator... What can be said? It is unclear whether she was forced to do this work as punishment and so tried to ruin it or she's just this bad.

It seems her pronunciation has gotten worse since the first three. It is pronounced "roof," for instance, not "rough." Does she say "pull" instead of "pool" as well? Obviously these are small gripes if she was just a person talking, but this is her damn job.

Better Than First Three; Narrator Still Ruins

I'm not sure why each chapter had an introduction, like they were all individual short stories with a book jacket or "back of book" to warn you about what you're about to listen to. it was a bit annoying, but still it was better than the original trilogy, if only just. the series continues to use that poor reader, if I hadn't picked up the whole series on sale I'd never have gotten this far. yeah I don't know the meaning of a sunken cost...

terrible narrator, story better than first 3

Once again a perfectly wonderful story ruined by Nicole Greevy. She has a terrible grasp of the English language. For instance, her inability to distinguish hiding something away in secret and a secretion from the body. These books need redone by a talented narrator badly.

Great story, terrible narrator.
