The Kingless Land is kingless no more, for the Sleeping King of legend, King Kelgrael, has been awakened by the efforts of the Band of Four: Hawkril, a bold and brave warrior gifted with great strength and fortitude; Craer, the crafty and clever thief; Sarasper, the learned and wise healer; and, last but not least, Lady Embra Silvertree, the mystical Lady of Jewels, a powerful sorceress.
With the aid of the magical powers of the Dwaerindim Stones, the king’s curse has been lifted. But it will take more than the power of a single Dwaerindim to allow him to occupy the long-vacant throne of the land, for there are ambitious and devious barons ready to challenge him for his royal dominion. While inhuman and dark forces lurk, the Band of Four must set out again on an arduous quest for the secret that will allow the kingdom to return to the safety and prosperity of its former glory.

"I have been saving this rare treat for a long time. I love his Elminster books and wanted to read this series in order. Years later I changed my mind to read it anyway. Great fantasy with lots of horrendous villians all over the place. I definitely love the Band of Four. Lots of good fun. =) "
